Hezbollah Secretary General : Today we are more prepared for confrontation with Israel
Hassan Nasrallah said today, Wednesday evening, in a speech, from the southern suburb of Beirut, where the Hamas leader, Saleh Al-Arouri, was assassinated yesterday, Tuesday, that “the Palestinian issue was on its way to oblivion before the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’.” , which was carried out by the Hamas movement on the seventh of last October, noting that the sudden attack dealt a “severe blow to the path of normalization.”
Nasrallah considered that Hezbollah's involvement in the war and its opening of "the confrontation front since October 8th made Israel lose the element of surprise," adding that "what happened yesterday is very dangerous, because it is an attack on the southern suburbs, and it is the first since 2006."
Nasrallah said that “there is no one in the Zionist entity who has an image of victory yet,” stressing that Israel “is trying to present an image of victory by assassinating Al-Arouri,” whose death he attributed “and his companions to an Israeli aggression on the southern suburbs,” adding that he will deliver another speech today. Next Friday.
He added, "The Al-Aqsa flood brought down Israel's image in the world, which was helped by the Western media," adding that it "confirmed that the Palestinian people cannot forget their land or their cause." He also pointed out that “the real goal of the Israeli aggression is to displace the population of the Gaza Strip.” He also said, "One of the results of the Al-Aqsa flood is that it destroyed the image of America that was promoted and presented in its ugliest truths."
He believed that "one of the results of the Al-Aqsa flood was the rise in support for the resistance and the option of resistance within Palestine and at the nation level." He added, "Israel believed that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood gave it an opportunity to eliminate the resistance in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon."
He stated that "the lack of confidence in the Israeli army affects the essence of the existence of the Zionist entity," adding that "the resistance has become bolder and more prepared for confrontation, and even American intervention will not deter the resistance."
He added, "The Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the past few months represent the most serious challenge to the axis of resistance," adding that "there is no person directing or moving the axis of resistance, and each of its parties decides for itself, according to the interests of its people and their cause independently."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened to assassinate Al-Arouri before the “Al-Aqsa Flood” attack and the war on Gaza. Nasrallah responded to this threat and vowed that targeting any Palestinian figure in Lebanese territory would lead to escalation. Officials in Israel believe that the context of matters has changed and that the Lebanese front is in a state of continuous escalation, after the war on Gaza.
