Commander: Hezbollah Able to Pin-Point Targets in Israel

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh underlined the Lebanese Hezbollah movement’s high military capabilities, and said the resistance group is now able to pin-point targets in the occupied Palestinian territories.
“Based on our information, Hezbollah’s power has so much increased in recent years that they can attack any target in any part of the occupied territories with a high precision capability and with a very low margin of error,” Hajizadeh told FNA on Saturday.

“Of course, Hezbollah has always shown that its actions in the battlefield are unexpected and it showed this capability well during the 33-day war (against Israel in summer 2006) and it can make similar moves on any scene today,” he added.

Hezbollah has always warned that any move by Israel will be responded harshly.

Hezbollah Chief Seyed Hassan Nasrallah warned last month that those who assassinated Hassan Lakkis, a Hezbollah commander, would pay for their crime.

“The assassination of Hajj Hassan Lakkis is not one of those passing incidents between us and the Israelis and nobody should think that,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech during the commemoration ceremony of Lakkis in Beirut’s Southern suburbs.

“Israelis should not think that Hezbollah is too busy with the situation in the region and in Lebanon and that the timing is not right for us because – this (kind of thinking) would be a mistake,” he added.

“We have an open-ended account to settle with Israel and the killers will be punished sooner or later and the blood of our martyrs will never split in vain,” the Hezbollah chief said.

Lakkis was gunned down in outside his home South of Beirut in December.
