MP Hassan Fadlallah said the Lebanese resistance movement would not give in to threats.

He told reporters: “It is clear this threat and intimidation will not affect us.”
“We don’t succumb to threats and military intimidation practiced by the United States to implement its hegemony over Lebanon.” “The American administration has used the policy of sending warships to support its allies in Lebanon before, and that experiment failed and backfired,” he said.
