Fight with Israel not over, Iran-backed militants warn

The leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force and allied proxies across the region have warned their “axis of resistance” against Israel will continue, despite blows suffered since the war in Gaza began. The message was delivered by leaders of the groups in video statements broadcast on Wednesday. “The future of the region belongs to the resistance,” said Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem, who rose to the top post after Israel assassinated long-time leader Hassan Nasrallah and his successor last year.
