BEIRUT, May.10, (ST)- Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah declared on Monday that Hezbollah’s opponents have prioritized disarming the Resistance in their electoral programs despite the diversity of socio-economic concerns.
He clarified that the majority of the Lebanese, according to surveys, consider that tackling the socioeconomic concerns must be prior to addressing the Resistance arms.
Addressing Hezbollah election ceremony held simultaneously in the two southern cities of Tyre and Nabatiyeh, Sayyed Nasrallah noted that some political forces want 2022 parliamentary elections to be a chance to eradicate Hezbollah and its allies.
Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out that those who demand disarming the Resistance disregard the Zionist aggression on South Lebanon since 1948, explaining that the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s witnessed barbaric Israeli attacks on the Lebanese southern villages, according to Al-Manar TV channel.
“‘Israel’ displaced the residents of the border towns in the South and carried out a horrible massacre in Hola prior to the establishment of any resistance movement,” he affirmed.
In the 1950s, the Israeli enemy’s army was used to invading southern villages and to even kidnap security forces, according to Sayyed Nasrallah, who added that in the 1960s, ‘Israel’ even bombed the Al-Wazzani project and the state remained silent.”
Sayyed Nasrallah indicated that those who call for disarming the Resistance deny its achievements in 2000 where most of the Lebanese territories which were liberated from Zionist enemy.
He warned that some Lebanese politicians do not consider ‘Israel’ as an enemy and do not believe that it has ambitions regarding Lebanon’s water and gas, recalling the Lebanese leaders’ remarks during 2006 dialogue sessions at the parliament.
The Resistance liberated most of the Lebanese territories and the prisoners, according to Sayyed Nasrallah who added that Hezbollah eliminated the Zionist scheme of establishing the ‘Greater Israel’ and proved that the Israeli occupation army is not invincible.
Moreover, Sayyed Nasrallah reiterated that Hezbollah will not intervene in the demarcation of the maritime borders with the Zionist entity, warning the Lebanese government against the US conspiracies in this regard.
He pointed out that Washington is obliged to contact the Lebanese officials in order to protect the Israeli interests for fear of Hezbollah power.
Hezbollah Secretary General announced that Hezbollah has raised its military alert in order to follow up the Zionist maneuvers which started on Monday.
He indicated that Hezbollah Resistance forces will be ready to respond to any Zionist fault or attack, reiterating that ‘Israel’ is weaker than a spider web.
