Lebanese Shiite scholar Muhammad Ali Al-Fu'ani has publicly called on the Lebanese government to seek international assistance to eliminate Hezbollah from the country. He advocated placing the militant group under a complete siege until it surrenders, adding they should 'commit suicide and go to hell.' The remarks highlight internal Lebanese opposition to Hezbollah's influence and military presence. The call comes amid heightened regional tensions and a fragile ceasefire in southern Lebanon.
