Israel's 33-day war strengthened resistance's status, identity: Iran envoy

Iran's Ambassador to Lebanon said yesterday Israel's recent war against Lebanon aimed at annihilation of resistance not only failed in doing so, but also further strengthened its status and identity.

Sheibani added, "Israel and its allies tried to create a deep gap between the Lebanese resistance force and the people that are faithful to it through imposing heavy casualties, vast scale material losses, homelessness, and other hardships, but their move further strengthened the Lebanese people's trust in legitimacy of resistance."
