Lebanon's Ambassador to India Rabie Narsh cited Mahatma Gandhi's words and said Hezbollah "cannot be crushed by eliminating its leaders". "[Gandhi said] You can kill a revolutionary, but you cannot kill the revolution...Hezbollah...is not an imaginary structure that came to Lebanon by parachute," he added. Narsh added that Hezbollah personifies a movement against the "rogue state" of Israel.
