AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said it clear on Wednesday: No place across the Zionist entity will be safe from the Lebanese resistance group’s weapons in case of a full-blown war.
In a televised speech, described by the Israeli media as the strongest one since the start of the war last October, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that in case a war was imposed on Lebanon, Hezbollah will fight with “no rules and no red lines.”
His eminence was addressing a memorial service of a senior commander who was martyred in an Israeli strike in south Lebanon last week, Talib Abdallah (Abu Talib).
“The enemy knows well that we have prepared ourselves for the worst… and that no place across the Zionist entity will be spared by our missiles and drones.”
Sayyed Nasrallah warned that the Israeli enemy will have to wait for the Lebanese resistance in the land, sea and air.
He also threatened Cyprus for the first time, stating that Hezbollah will consider it “a part of the war” if it opens its airports and bases for the Israeli enemy to attack Lebanon.
His eminence affirmed that Hezbollah will continue to support Gaza, voicing full readiness for any scenario.
“We are not afraid. Our demand is clear: A complete and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.”
The Hezbollah S.G. emphasized that this battle is the greatest one the Ummah (nation) has fought since 1948, noting that it will change the face of the region.
“This front is moving steadily towards victory and the enemy is foolishly heading towards demise.”
About the Occasion
Sayyed Nasrallah started his speech by offering condolences and congratulations over martyrdom of commander ‘Abu Talib’, as he saluted families of martyrs over their patience and sticking to resistance path.
In this context, he noted that martyrdom in its Islamic connotations is not defeat, nor is it death.
“Martyrdom is a point of strength to the resistance fronts. The most dangerous thing the enemy faces is the spirit of its combatants who believe in martyrdom as a culture of life. The resistance environment is not weakened by virtue of this culture.”
He paid tribute to martyred commander Abu Talib, saying that the senior commander “joined the ranks of resistance as an ordinary fighter, like everyone else, and quickly advanced because of his spirit and dedication.”
“Martyr Abu Talib was among Hezbollah group that defended the people of Bosnia in the nineties of the 20th century.”
“Martyr Abu Talib was known for his religiosity, faith, morals, and humbleness. He was highly qualified and had high morale even in times of distress.”
“Our loss by the martyrdom of Abu Talib is great. However, it’s sufficient for us that our Mujahideen have embraced martyrdom and left behind commanders and fighters who will continue this path.”
“Martyr Abu Talib was the first field commander to open up the southern front in support of Gaza.”
Invading Galilee Still on Table
Sayyed Nasrallah shifted then to talk about the supporting front in south Lebanon, which he said “keeps up operations and has been inflicting losses upon the Israeli enemy.”
“Of the prominent indications that the Lebanese front is fruitful are the screams and threats made by the enemy’s leaders.”
The Hezbollah leader then pointed to a massive media campaign, which has been since the start of Op. Al-Aqsa Flood, adding that this campaign is aimed at dismissing and underestimating the achievements secured by the fronts in support of Gaza in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
Sayyed Nasrallah then cited Israeli figures that 100,000 Israeli soldiers have been deployed to the Israeli northern front, as he quoted a senior Israeli official as saying that “without this front, sufficient forces would have been available to defeat Gaza.”
“Lebanon front prevented some Israeli divisions from joining the battle in Gaza, and some of these forces are elite ones, as the Israeli enemy fears that Hezbollah could invade Galilee. Hereby I say that this option is still on the table.”
Sayyed Nasrallah said, meanwhile, that the Israeli enemy has been hiding and imposing a blackout on its losses in the northern front with Lebanon, noting that the aim of this blackout is to avoid exerting on the occupation government.
“In addition to the war of attrition, Hezbollah has forced tens of thousands of Israeli settlers to be displaced from settlements in northern occupied Palestine,” Sayyed Nasrallah stated.
In this context, his eminence pointed to another achievement secured by Hezbollah on the Lebanese front, noting that the Lebanese resistance group manage to create, for the first time in the history of the occupation (since 1948), a security belt (zone) within the Zionist entity.
Israeli Failure
Sayyed Nasrallah went ahead with talking about achievements secured by the resistance groups against the Zionist entity, noting that “the image of the enemy on levels of security, military and deterrence is collapsing,” and that “the Israeli army appears to be defeated and exhausted.”
He then talked about the front opened by the resistance in Yemen.
“Eight months on the war, Israeli circles point to US-UK failure to protect ‘Israel’-bound ships and this is considered a strategic failure to two largest fleets in the world.”
“Because of the Zionist enemy’s inability to engage in multiple fronts, the US and the UK have engaged in the Yemeni front, which demonstrated the failure of Washington and London to stop the Yemeni operations.”
His eminence hailed the Palestinian resistance and people over their epic confrontations and steadfastness against the Israeli enemy.
“The enemy has failed in front of the resistance in Gaza which has engaged in epic clashes with the Israeli enemy.”
He highlighted the Israeli losses, stressing that the Israeli enemy “can’t hide its losses anymore.”
“There are 8636 disabled Israelis according to official figures, then what is the number of dead and wounded?” Sayyed Nasrallah wondered.
“The enemy claims to have eliminated 20 Hamas battalions, and that there are more 4 battalions in Rafah where the occupation is allegedly working to eliminate. This is a mere lie that shows the fragility of the Israeli enemy, which is hardly trying to show a delusive victory to the Israeli settlers.”
About “Hoopoe Mission”
Sayyed Nasrallah stated that due to Hezbollah attacks the Israeli enemy was forced to evacuate its bases and went to establish new posts behind the mountains.
He noted that throughout four months, the Lebanese resistance managed to destroy thousands of surveillance pieces and spy equipment, causing the Zionist entity to be blinded in the north.
“We won’t spare any of areas that we can reach, and we have a very, very large amount of data. Yesterday’s “Hoopoe” footage is just short and selected excerpts from long hours of recorded videos captured above Haifa,” Sayyed Nasrallah said, referring to the 9-minute video published by Hezbollah’s Military Media that shows the group’s reconnaissance drones recording aerial imagery of critical sites in occupied Palestine’s northern territories, especially the port city of Haifa.
“We have video recordings for long hours of Haifa and nearby areas as well as areas beyond Haifa and beyond beyond Haifa. Or resistance fight based on information.”
100,000 Fighters
Sayyed Nasrallah touched upon Hezbollah capacities, noting that the Lebanese resistance movement has more than enough manpower and arms.
“We’ve used a little of our weapons so far and we’ve obtained new weapons that will be employed in the battlefield. In this battle we’ve developed our weapons and used new ones, we have plenty of drones since we manufacture UAVs.”
“We have sufficient and motivated human capacity, many of our operatives are asking to join the ranks of fighters at the battlefield. The number of our operatives who are ready to join the war has exceeded 100,000.”
“Wait for Us in the Land, Sea and Air”
Sayyed Nasrallah then hit back at Israeli threats of an inclusive war with the Zionist entity.
“We are no afraid by threats of a full-blown war. There have been estimations that such scenario is serious and as a resistance we are fully prepared for the worst. The enemy knows what awaits it.”
“The enemy knows very well that no place will be safe from our missiles and drones. We have a real and large bank of goals and we are capable to reach these goals discriminately and in a way that destabilizes the entity.”
“The enemy knows that what awaits it in the Mediterranean is terrific, the Israeli coasts and ships will be targeted,” his eminence said, calling on the Zionist entity to await the Lebanese resistance group “in the land, sea and air.”
In this context, Sayyed Nasrallah threatened that in case an inclusive war is imposed on Lebanon, Hezbollah will fight “with no rules and with no red lines.”
Sayyed Nasrallah Warns Cyprus
On the other hand, the Lebanese resistance leader warned Cyprus against being part in any future war between ‘Israel’ and Lebanon.
“I draw the attention of the Cypriot government that we have information that the Israeli enemy is conducting maneuvers in preparation for a war with Lebanon, and that airports Cyprus could be opened to Israeli fighter jets.”
“Hereby, and in one word, I call upon the Cypriot government to be aware that if it opens its airports to the Israeli enemy during a potential war, we will treat Cyprus as a part of the war.”
“For those who terrorize us with war, I believe that the US is worried about the Zionist entity, which on its turn must be worried. As for us, we will keep up our strikes in support of Gaza and we will be ready and fully prepared for all options and nothing will stop us from performing our duty. The solution is simple: stop the war on Gaza and against our people in Gaza.”
Sayyed Nasrallah concluded his speech by addressing the families of martyrs and citizens who were displaced from the border towns in south Lebanon as well as pro-resistance people in Lebanon.
“This battle is the greatest one the Ummah (nation) has fought since 1948. It will change the face of the region. This front is moving steadily towards victory and the enemy is foolishly heading towards demise.”
