Beirut, Lebanon: Hezbollah deputy chief Naim Qassem warned Israelis on Tuesday that the only solution to the current war was a ceasefire that would pave the way for north Israel residents to return, vowing his group would not be defeated.

"I am telling the Israeli home front: the solution is a ceasefire," Qassem said in his third address since an Israeli strike killed former leader Hassan Nasrallah.

"I am not speaking from a position of weakness, because if Israel does not want (a ceasefire), we will continue," he added.

"The resistance (Hezbollah) will not be defeated because this is its land," he said.

"After a ceasefire via indirect agreement", residents of northern Israel will "return to the north and the other steps will be drawn up", Qassem said.
