Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: In a televised speech delivered on Wednesday, the Hezbollah chief paid tribute to Al-Arouri, and his companions who were killed in an attack on South Beirut on Tuesday, Al-Jazeera reported.
He also expresses condolences to Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh and the Palestinian people, saying that the assassination was a “blatant Israeli aggression”.
The Hezbollah leader said in three months of fighting in Gaza, Israel has not achieved any strategic victories, adding, “Last night, they were trying to present an image of victory with the treacherous assassination of Sheikh Saleh [Al-Arouri]. But in Gaza, where is it?”
The Hezbollah chief also said the assassination of Al-Arouri presents a dual escalation: the killing of the Hamas leader and the targeting of South Beirut.
If the enemy thinks about waging war against Lebanon, then our fighting will be with no ceiling, with no limits, with no rules. And they know what I mean,” he added.
“We are not afraid of war. We don’t fear it. We are not hesitant. If we were, we would have stopped at the front,” Nasrallah said. Nasrallah also accused Israel of undercounting its military casualties both in Gaza and Lebanon, adding, “On our Lebanese front, they don’t release the number of dead and injured, and they’re in the thousands.”
He said that Israel has completely fallen “humanely, morally, and legally”, adding that across the world Israel is being seen as one that kills and starves children and civilians.
The Hezbollah chief also said Gaza showed the “ugliest” reality about the United States, adding that the US is preventing stopping the war and becoming isolated in the world.
“Who is doing the killing in Gaza is the American [administration] and the American decision and the American policy and the American missile and the American bomb,” Nasrallah said.
He noted recent public opinion polls showing young people in the US as supportive of Palestinians, adding, “This will have a big effect on the conflict and the calculations in our region.”
He said the Hamas attacks in Southern Israel brought the Palestinian cause to the forefront after it had been almost forgotten.
“The Israelis now have clarity that they are facing a people that will not forget its land or its history or its present or its sanctities,” Nasrallah said.
He added that resistance movements are gaining popularity despite efforts to blame Hamas for Israeli massacres in Gaza.
Israel waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Strip-based Palestinian resistance groups of Hamas and Islamic Jihad carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories in response to the occupying regime’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.
