Mohammad Ali Jaffari, the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has said that the attack by Hezbollah that killed two Israeli soldiers was the “minimum” response to Israeli strike that killed 6 Hezbollah members.
At a conference yesterday called “Jihad Will Continue,” Jaffari told reporters, “Hezbollah’s response to Israel was a minimum response that was given to the Israelis, and I hope this response will be a lesson not to make these mistakes anymore.” He continued, “The response the tyrant Israelis received for their ugly actions, which our brothers in Hezbollah gave them along the Lebanese-Syrian border, was a minimum response.”
Jaffari said that the Israelis knew their “idiotic” actions would be answered and that the Israelis “should await a stronger response not only around their borders but anywhere in the world where Zionist Israelis are.”
Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the response delivered by the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, to the Israeli regime is as if it was given by Tehran.
“The power of the resistance [movement] emanates from the path of the Islamic Revolution,” IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Ja'fari told reporters on Friday.
The IRGC commander added that the Israeli regime carries out such terrorist acts because it “fears the resistance and, in particular, measures by efficient commanders of Hezbollah.”
The Zionists should know that the Islamic Revolution and Hezbollah do not discriminate among the Iranian, Syrian, Iraqi and Lebanese youths who are currently fighting to defend Islam, Ja'fari said.
Addressing a Friday ceremony to commemorate martyrs of the Israeli attack on the Syrian Golan town of Quneitra, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said the Middle East region is suffering from “a cancerous growth called Israel.”
He added that Hezbollah is not afraid of confronting Israel, saying, “If Israel is thinking that we fear war, then I tell it that we do not fear war and we will not hesitate to take it if it is imposed on us.”
The Hezbollah leader warned Israel that "from now on, if any member of Hezbollah is assassinated, we will blame it on Israel and reserve the right to respond to it whenever and however we choose."
