“we will not be tolerant in defending our people, “says Nasrallah

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah delivered a speech on Friday, during a ceremony celebrating the seventh anniversary of victory in the July 2006 war.

Nasrallah started his speech with a greeting to the martyrs and wounded who fell only one day before the celebration in the terrorist blast which hit Ruwais street in the Southern Suburb of Beirut.

“I pray for the recovery of all the wounded from the large and dangerous terrorist attack, and I offer my condolences to the families of martyrs who fell, and to all those who were affected physically, mentally, spiritually, and on the material level yesterday. We highly appreciate, admire, and respect the patience of people and the citizens of Dahieh who held responsibility, and were conscious, disciplined, and civilized,” he said.

Sayyed Nasrallah initiated his statement with words about the victory, pointing out that “the celebration was arranged to take place in Aita Al-Shaab, because it overlooks occupied Palestine, and its air is Palestinian air. Hence, you are smelling the air of occupied Palestine, and you are gathering only a stone’s throw away from the enemy.”

He also paid gratitude to the citizens of this village, who returned to their land just hours after ceasefire in 2006, and built tents over the ruins of their houses, to sit in them.

“Your historic victory in the 25th of May 2000 defeated the “greater Israel” project, because the Israeli army, which failed to stay in Lebanon, the weakest Arab country, cannot build a state from the Nile to Furat. Then the 14th of August 2006 victory , defeated Israel’s project of being a great country, which dominates and imposes its decision on the region and on Iran,” Sayyed Nasrallah added.

Hezbollah Secretary General added that the July 2006 victory also proved that “this organized popular resistance, which is embraced by its people, is capable of being a real defense, at a time when the country does not have the capacities and technologies which the attacking enemy has, and the evidence on that was presented in the July war.”

In this context, Sayyed Nasrallah warned the Israeli enemy that the resistance will not allow one Israeli soldier to set a foot in the Lebanese territories, indicating that “we will not be tolerant in defending our villages, lands, and people.”

He further addressed the Israelis, saying: “The era of Israeli military tourism on the borders with Lebanon, and inside the Lebanese territories is over, with no return.”
