Evidence

A direct search located the primary source: a Middle East Eye interview article titled 'Hezbollah's Nawaf Moussawi: Only force can compel Israel to leave Lebanon.' The article quotes Moussawi, described as head of Hezbollah's border and resources department, saying force must be used to liberate South Lebanon because negotiations alone will not convince Israel to withdraw, and that Lebanese-Israeli negotiations will remain fruitless unless President Joseph Aoun partners with Hezbollah. This is MEE's own direct interview reporting, not a claim being spread out of context on social media, and no independent fact-checking organization (Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat, EUvsDisinfo) appears to have separately investigated or disputed this specific quote, since it is simply a reported statement from an interview rather than a factual/forensic claim requiring verification.
