The head of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallahwarned Wednesday that his group would fight “without control, rules or limits” should a broader war with Israel break out, and that no place in Israel would be safe from Hezbollah attacks.
In a televised speech, Nasrallah said that included possible targets in the Mediterranean Sea. Nasrallah too threatened Cyprus for the first time, saying that Hezbollah could consider it “part of the war” if it continued to allow Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises.
”The enemy knows that he must wait for us by land, air and sea. And if a war is imposed on us, the Resistance will fight without control, rules or limits,” stated the Shiite cleric, although he insisted that his formation has no “intention” of launching a conflict more extensive than the current one.
In recent weeks, renewed fears of open war between Hezbollah and Israel have erupted again, after The clashes that have taken place since October intensified significantly and that the Jewish State raised the tone of its threats in this regard.
“The enemy knows very well that we have prepared for the worst days and knows what awaits it, that is why it was deterred for eight or nine months,” Nasrallah added in a speech in honor of the top commander. Abu Talebkilled last week in an Israeli bombing of southern Lebanon.
Along these lines, he warned that “no place” in Israeli territory will be “unscathed” before our missiles and drones” in the event of war, and even put on the table the possibility of the Lebanese movement invading the north of the Jewish State.
”There is a fear on the part of the enemy that the Resistance will invade Galilee (northern Israel) and this is a possible scenario in the framework of any war that may be imposed on Lebanon,” declared the Hezbollah leader.
Nasrallah also warned that the outbreak of an open conflict between both parties would have repercussions “in the region” and explained that they now have “new weapons” in your arsenal, some developed by themselves and others that they have not yet incorporated into the battle.
On the other hand, he insisted that the solution to the border clashes is to end the war in the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah opened a front to support the Islamist movement Hamas a day after the start of the war in the Palestinian enclave and has insisted that its attacks against the Jewish State will stop once the conflict in Gaza ends.
On Tuesday, the American mediator Amos Hochstein He was in Beirut to seek a diplomatic solution to the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese group, which supposedly once again conveyed to him its demand that any agreement requires a prior ceasefire in the Strip.
”We will continue our solidarity and support for Gaza; We will be ready and prepared for all possibilities, and nothing will stop us from doing our duty. The solution is simple: stop the war in Gaza,” Nasrallah concluded.
