“In this operation the enemy has crossed all boundaries and red lines”

The leader of the Lebanese Shiite party militia Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah, ha accused Israel of causing an “unprecedented carnage” by blowing up hundreds of communications equipment in recent days – killing at least 37 and wounding nearly 3,000 – and has assured that Lebanon is “coming stronger” after what happened and is “preparing for the worst.”

Hezbollah’s highest authority gave a speech this Thursday in which he stressed that Israel is responsible for what happened in recent days, despite the fact that Israeli authorities have not commented on the matter, accusing them of “violating all the rules” and “overcoming all ‘red lines'”.

Nasrallah has stressed that the communications equipment – ​​both pagers and walkie-talkies – was not only in the possession of Hezbollah members, but also These are devices “very widespread in different layers of society” –The use of pagers is still very common in countries like Lebanon, where the telephone or internet network is unstable. The explosions surprised citizens who were in hospitals, markets or on public roads, he noted.

“In the space of two days and in just one minute at a time, Israel tried to kill more than 5,000 people,” Nasrallah denounced, assuring that Hezbollah has launched investigations to establish responsibilities and find out what production, transportation, processing or distribution was involved in the placement of the explosive material that detonated the devices.

“Yes, we have received a hard and heavy blow,” acknowledged the Hezbollah leader, who nevertheless stressed that lLebanese people “will not fall”but will “grow stronger and prepare for the worst.” These words come at a time when the Israeli army has launched attacks on Lebanon and the military authorities have approved the attack plan on the neighboring country.

The leader of the Lebanese militia has acknowledged that the blow suffered is “significant and unprecedented” but stressed that Israel will face “severe retaliation and just punishment” both at positions that expect to be attacked, and at other points where the Israeli authorities do not suspect possible attacks by Hezbollah. “The punishment will come. When, where, how? You will know when the time comes,” he stated.

He has assured Hezbollah “will not stop until the end of the war in Gaza”. “We have been saying this for almost twelve months. Despite all these massacres, these injuries, these sacrifices, I say this: whatever the obstacles and sacrifices, the resistance in Lebanon will not stop supporting Gaza, the West Bank and Palestine!” stressed the leader of the Lebanese militia, who says his cause is “strengthened” by the latest events.
