Our response to the Israeli entity’s crimes is certainly coming and will be strong and effective: Nasrallah

Secretary General of the Lebanese National Resistance “Hezbollah” Hasan Nasrallah stressed on Tuesday that Hezbollah response to the Israeli crime of assassinating the martyred Islamic Resistance commander Fuad Shokr in Beirut’s Dahiyeh is inevitable regardless of all the consequences.

“We are keen on the Lebanese national interests, but no one can ask us to act with the Zionist aggression on Dahiyeh as a a normal incident in the context of the ongoing battle.”

Addressing a ceremony in Beirut in commemoration of the martyred commander Fuad Shokr one week after his martyrdom, Nasrallah indicated that the “Israeli” enemy is the one that chose to escalate the confrontation with Lebanon and Iran.

“Our response is certainly coming and will be strong, impactful, and effective. There are still days and nights ahead of us, and we await the battlefield,” he said.

Commenting on the war possibilities, Sayyed Nasrallah clarified that, after the aggression on Beirut’s Dahiyeh, the Israelis notified Lebanon via the Americans that they do not seek an all-out military confrontation.

“The Americans are asking for more time to work on stopping the war in Gaza, but who can trust the Americans, who have been hypocritical and deceitful for the past ten months?”

“Our drones reached east of Acre, and one of the Iron Dome missiles failed to intercept one of the targets and fell in Nahariya, where 19 people have been injured so far,” Nasrallah said, according to Al-Manar TV.

Affirming that the enemy’s week-long waiting is part of the punishment, Nasrallah said.

He stressed that the martyrdom of a great leader in the resistance is a loss, but this does not weaken the resistance at all, nor does it shake it or make it hesitate or stop, and today it possesses the will, decision and ability to destroy all the enemy’s capabilities in northern occupied Palestine.

Nasrallah pointed out that the Israeli occupation absolutely rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state, and its plan is to uproot the Palestinians and displace them from their land, especially in Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including the city of Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
