This time, too, amid unfolding tensions between Israeli regime and Iran-Hezbollah camp after the last week assassinations in Tehran and Beirut, Nasrallah on Thursday in a clear, calm, and confident speech outlined the next stage of the Resistance's reaction to the Israeli occupation.
At first, the head of the powerful Lebanese resistance movement pointed out the weakness of the Israeli regime against Iran-led Axis of Resistance and the loss of its deterrent power, and considered the assassination of the resistance commanders as a result of the defeats that the Israelis incurred against the Resistance camp.
Suggesting that these assassinations have deteriorated Israeli situation, Nasrallah said: " The Israeli regime, which fought with the strongest armies in the region in 1967 and 1973, today is extremely afraid of Iran and Hezbollah's response and has sought Western countries' help to defend itself. Israel's radars and American satellites are on full alert for fear of Iran and Hezbollah's response, and our drones reached the east of Acre today."
Though the West and even some regional countries have pushed to dissuade Iran front a response to Haniyeh assassination in Tehran, the Axis of Resistance made it clear that it has not walked back from its resolve to punish Tel Aviv, something Nasrallah referred to: "Hezbollah, Iran, and Yemen are committed to respond to the enemy. The enemy is also waiting for this response to see if we will respond to this regime alone or together with the Resistance front."
He also asked the fronts supporting the resistance in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen to continue their backing to Gaza.
In recent days, resistance groups from Yemen to Iraq to Lebanon said that they will launch combined and multilateral attacks against Israel in response to the assassinations. The US and its allies have expressed their concern about a massive response.
Destroying the Israeli factories in 30 minutes
Hezbollah chief, who is known among the Israelis his true promises and the certainty of acting on his threats, had a surprising message for the Israeli settlers in order to make the occupied lands more afraid of revenge. Although the Tel Aviv authorities are trying to keep fear and worry away from the residents of the occupied territories by highlighting the capability of the Iron Dome defense system, Nasrallah promised that these systems will do nothing when the time of revenge comes.
In part of his speech, he said: "We can destroy the Israeli factories in the north of the occupied territories within half an hour, and it only takes half an hour to destroy the capabilities and facilities of the enemy in this area."
These factories make up the vital economic artery of the Israeli regime, and if their activities are disrupted or they are damaged, Israeli economy will teeter on the brink of collapse.
Nasrallah's precise reference to Israel's vital facilities comes while in the last two months, Hezbollah's Hodhod drone penetrated deep into the occupied territories and collected intelligence from all sensitive Israeli centers, and almost no one doubts the accuracy of Hezbollah’s target bank.
The Israeli citizens are terrified that the Hezbollah drone easily passed through the Iron Dome system and returned safely to its base, and they are afraid of the ineffectiveness of their defense system during a full-scale war. The fact that Hezbollah destroys all sensitive Israeli installations within half an hour bears witness to the long range and power of missiles of the Lebanese resistance movement, which it has not yet unveiled, and it should definitely be considered a part of Hezbollah's war surprises if the scope of the conflict expands.
Prolonged pre-response time is a resistance strategy
Hezbollah chief said that prolonged response to the recent assassinations is part of the strategy of the Resistance camp, adding that "we will respond to the occupiers and this response will be effective and strong. Today, all the Zionists in the occupied territories are severely concerned about the resistance response and this state of expectation is part of the battle."
It should be noted that in the past week, Israeli citizens have gone to shelters for fear of Iran and Hezbollah's reaction, and the routine of life has been disrupted even deep in the occupied territories. Even news reports suggest that Netanyahu and the security officials have taken underground shelter.
The Israelis also rushing to the stores to buy what they need and store food in expectation of war in the region. They say that their eyes are on the sky to see when Iran and Hezbollah missiles will arrive, and this life in horor is more painful than the attack itself. Therefore, sinking Israel in a state of chaos and suspension is part of the response the Axis of Resistance has designed.
Warning to the US
In his speeches, Nasrallah always addresses the American officials in addition to the Israelis because they have ignited the fire of war in the region by strongly supporting the occupation. Hezbollah head, questioning the validity of American claims regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state, said: "America has remained silent for the past 31 years since the Oslo Accords regarding the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and its claims today in this regard are lies and hypocrisy, because in case of any vote on the formation of an independent Palestinian state in the Security Council, this country will veto it."
It seems that Nasrallah is warning the Americans for the time after the defenite response to Israel by the Axis of Resistance, telling them that if they continue to back Israel and play into Netanyahu’s game, the would sustain heavy damage.
It is noteworthy that Hezbollah’s chief warned the Americans in his first speech after the start of the Gaza war that all the ships and bases of this country in the region are within the fire range of Resistance camp’s missiles, and if they want to have an adventure, they will receive a crushing response.
Over the past 10 months, Iraqi resistance groups have launched hundreds of attacks on the American bases in Syria and Iraq and in their recent rocket attack on the Ein Al-Assad military base, several American forces were killed. So, the Axis of Resistance has shown that its hands are not tied and it can deal a painful blow to the US if it chooses to broaden the scope of war.
Nasrallah's warnings come at a time the US has put its forces in West Asia on alert and has dispatched its ships to the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea to defend the Israeli regime against the expected operation of Iran and Hezbollah.
In the resistance leaders' viewpoint, if it was not for the
American help, the Israelis would not have the might to continue Gaza
war and so the current American claims about pushing to prevent war from
expansion and calling on the Axis of Resistance to show self-restraint
are unreal and part of the policy of support to Israeli warmongering.
