The secretary general of Hezbollah congratulated all Muslims on the Palestinian resistance fighters’ recent victory against Israel.
Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said that Tel Aviv failed to achieve its goals in its eight-day offensive on Gaza.
“Once again blood triumphed over the sword,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech.
Nasrallah said that Israel has failed in achieving any of its goals.
He added, “(Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu did not set high goals for this war; he set low goals so that he would achieve them and announce his victory, but even these he failed to achieve.”
He pointed out that “the first goal was to destroy the Palestinian resistance’s leadership. He failed in this respect. The second goal was to destroy the resistance’s missile system. He also failed (to achieve this goal). The third goal was to reinforce Israel’s deterrence power. The (Gaza) war rather weakened this power.”
He went on to saying that the assassination of Hamas commander Ahmed al-Jabari is a big loss, but the resistance movements no longer depend on individuals.
The Hezbollah chief stressed that Palestinian fighters managed to fire about 200 rockets a day from Gaza into Israel during the war.
