BEIRUT: Hezbollah stands ready for any confrontation with Israel despite the regional circumstances, party leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah warned, after a recent exchange of hostilities between the two along south Lebanon's border.
“To all those concerned, we tell them that despite the rapid changes in the region, and despite the U.S.-led international coalition – or the ‘media alliance’ against ISIS – the resistance is not weak and will not weaken,” Nasrallah said in remarks published Tuesday.
“Rather, the resistance is present, strong and ready to confront and repel any [Israeli] aggression,” he told a recent private meeting with a number of Hezbollah cadres in the Bekaa Valley.
His remarks were published Tuesday by the local daily As-Safir.
"Our decision in Hezbollah is confrontation,” Nasrallah told his fighters. “There is no room for surrender or defeat whatever the size of the confrontation or pressures.”
“Let them know that the resistance, which is always vigilant, will protect any attempt to attack Lebanon or its people ... and in the end great victory will blossom."
Nasrallah pointed to the Sept. 5 Israeli violation in the border area of Adloun when an Israeli jet detonated a spy device planted on Hezbollah's telecommunications network in south Lebanon, killing a Hezbollah member.
That operation, Nasrallah said, suggested that Israel "wants to test the resistance [Hezbollah] and our response was detonating a bomb in the Shebaa area.”
