The leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hasan NasrallahIsrael has threatened retaliation for coordinated radio blasts over the past few days. Nasrallah said in a televised address that Israel had “crossed all red lines” with the attacks. “This criminal act is tantamount to a declaration of war.” According to media reports, Israeli military aircraft could be heard breaking the sound barrier over Beirut as the militant leader spoke.
Nasrallah did not comment on the nature of the planned retaliation in his speech. “They will find out when it will happen. This reckoning will happen. We will not disclose the details now because we are now at a very critical stage of the fight,” he said.
Due to radio bursts… Hezbollah Suffering a heavy blow, Nasrallah conceded. He said it was “unprecedented in the history of our resistance and perhaps in the history of conflict with the enemy.” However, Hezbollah’s command structures were not damaged by the blasts. The infrastructure of the system also remains the same.
Hezbollah leader speaks of “massacre”.
Nasrallah accused Israel of “massacre” and “genocide”. “Within two days and one minute, Israel targeted over 5,000 people to kill.” The Hezbollah leader also leveled accusations at the United States. “Israel has a clear technological advantage because it is supported not only by Israel but also by the United States.”
The Hezbollah leader once again escalated the conflict with Israel to end the Gaza war. “The resistance in Lebanon will not stop supporting the people of Gaza and the West Bank,” he said. The “Lebanon front” will remain in place until the “occupation in Gaza” is stopped.
During Nasrallah’s speech, fighting continued between the Israeli army and Hezbollah. Israeli military says airstrikes on Hezbollah targets Lebanon outside. At the same time, Hezbollah continued its attacks on Israel. According to the army, two Israeli soldiers were killed.
“Our military operations will continue”
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Jove Galant announced that the attacks would continue. “Hezbollah feels persecuted,” Gallant said, according to his office. “Our series of military operations will continue.” The new phase of the war holds important opportunities, but also significant risks. The goal is for residents of the Israeli north to return to their homes. “Over time, Hezbollah will pay a growing price.”
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called for restraint on all sides in the conflict. He did not want to see any escalation from either side of the ceasefire agreement. Gaza War It will make it more difficult, he said. French President Emmanuel Macron also called on “all parties” to stop the war. Macron spoke by phone with political and military representatives in Lebanon and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the president’s office in Paris.
37 people died in the blast
Hundreds of walkie-talkies exploded in Lebanon on Wednesday, along with hundreds of radio receivers, known as pagers, detonated by Hezbollah members the day before. The bombings killed at least 37 people and injured more than 2,900, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. Many of them are Hezbollah fighters.
Hezbollah and the Iranian regime behind it immediately accused Israel of being behind the attacks. Experts also consider coordinated action by the Israeli secret services. The Israeli government and the army have not yet commented on this.
The Israeli government has sharpened its rhetoric toward Hezbollah in recent days. Prime Minister Netanyahu said earlier in the week that the Defense Cabinet had declared another war target for residents of the area along the Israel-Lebanon border to return to their homes. At the same time, Defense Secretary Gallant warned that time for a diplomatic solution was running out. An elite unit of the Israeli army was transferred from the Gaza Strip to the northern border.
In his speech, Nasrallah made it clear that he did not want to allow Israeli border residents to return. “You challenged us and we accept this challenge again. I say to Netanyahu and Gallant: You will not achieve this goal. You will not succeed in bringing these people back to the North.” Nasrallah described the people fleeing attacks by his terrorist fighters as “immigrants and occupiers in occupied Palestine.”
Nasrallah added that he believed Israel would try to invade southern Lebanon. At this point, Hezbollah has a “historic opportunity”. Militants are on heightened alert.
Hezbollah has stepped up attacks on northern Israel since the Gaza war began last October. Since then, some 60,000 people have had to flee their homes along the Israel-Lebanon border.
