Resistance to know no bounds if Lebanon attacked: Sayyed Nasrallah
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah underlined in a televised speech Wednesday the substantial role played by the Lebanese support front in the war on Gaza in the face of the Israeli occupation.
“The battle on the Lebanese front has played a very significant role, causing material, moral, and psychological losses to the enemy,” he stressed during the memorial service for Hezbollah senior leader Hajj Taleb Abdullah and his companions, who were martyred days earlier in an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon.
He questioned the portrayal of events on the southern front, suggesting that the intensity of Israeli responses indicates a more serious situation. “If what is happening on the southern front was a routine matter, then why these strenuous efforts to stop it, and why all the screams, intimidation, wailing, and threats?” he asked.
Sayyed Nasrallah also mentioned the potential for further escalation, noting, “The possibility of invading al-Jalil remains on the table should the confrontation escalate.”
Addressing Israeli casualties, the Resistance leader accused the Israeli occupation of concealing its losses in the north. “The enemy hides its losses on the northern front but could not conceal the number of those who have evacuated settlements,” he asserted.
He criticized the global media’s portrayal of the war, saying, “Since the beginning of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, there has been a global media machine whose mission is to belittle the actions of the support fronts and the resistance in Gaza.”
Sayyed Nasrallah reiterated that the Israeli occupation was deliberately hiding its losses in the north to avoid further pressure. He provided specific figures on evacuations, stressing that “42 settlements have been completely evacuated, and life has been disrupted in several others.”
Moreover, he stated that the Israeli military and security image was deteriorating. “The deterrent military-security image of the enemy is collapsing in front of its people, its society, and the world,” he concluded.
Increasing losses
“They failed to protect Israeli ships, which is a huge failure for the two most important naval fleets in the world, primarily the American fleet,” the Hezbollah chief stressed.
Sayyed Nasrallah drew two conclusions from the Yemeni front: “First, the American-British failure, and second, the Israeli inability to fight on that front.”
He criticized the Israeli occupation’s pursuit of false victories, stating, “The enemy is panting after a false and fabricated victory that has no basis in reality, just to present it to its audience as a victory.”
The Hezbollah chief highlighted significant losses inflicted on the Israeli occupation by Gaza and the West Bank, as well as from Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq.
