"I assume the IDF's maneuvers near the Lebanese border to not be a sign of an impending war," said Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem. "The maneuvers are more political in nature. We're in a state of constant readiness for war."
In the interview to the Al-Manar network, Qassem also remarked on reports of an Israeli attack in Syria. "This isn't a prelude to war, and it shouldn't be overblown," he said.
