Nasrallah Admits Sending Drone over Israel, Says Fighters Killed Defending Lebanese-Inhabited Syrian Towns
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday acknowledged that his group sent a sophisticated unmanned drone over Israel last week, saying the device was built by the Jewish state's arch-foe Iran, while denying reports that Hizbullah was fighting alongside the Syrian regime.
Nasrallah's acknowledgment of the drone which Israel shot down on October 6 came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointed at Hizbullah and vowed to defend his country against further "threats."
"A sophisticated reconnaissance aircraft was sent from Lebanese territory ... and traveled hundreds of kilometers (miles) over the sea before crossing enemy lines and into occupied Palestine," Nasrallah said in a televised address.
"It overflew sensitive and important installations for dozens of kilometers until the enemy spotted it near (the nuclear site) Dimona," Nasrallah added. He did not identify the installations.
“Israel is lying to its people by claiming that it intercepted the drone over the sea,” Nasrallah noted.
Nasrallah insisted that "possession of such an aerial capacity is a first in the history of any resistance movement in Lebanon and the region."
"It's not the first time (that a drone was sent) and it will not be the last. We can reach all the zones" of Israel, said Nasrallah, referring to a less sophisticated drone sent by Hizbullah during its 2006 war against Israel.
He said the latest drone was "Iranian built and assembled in Lebanon."
“I must praise the jihadist brothers who have dedicated their talents to defend their people and developed all these defense capabilities,” Nasrallah added.
“We will leave it to the Israelis to evaluate the intelligence and operational capabilities of the drone. This capability is only part of the surprises of any future war,” he went on to say.
“I must remind of the size of Israel's violations of Lebanon's airspace since (U.N. Security Council) Resolution 1701 came into force until yesterday: 20,468 violations, amid the impotence of the state and the silence of the international community and some Lebanese who are lecturing about sovereignty,” Nasrallah added.
An Israeli official questioned by Agence France Presse in Jerusalem said he was not surprised that the drone was made in Iran. "The fact that Hizbullah weapons come from Iran does not surprise anyone," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The Israeli premier earlier accused Hizbullah of launching the previously unidentified drone and vowed to protect Israeli borders against further intrusions.
"We are acting with determination to protect our borders... as we prevented last weekend an attempt by Hizbullah," Netanyahu's office quoted him as saying. "We shall continue to act aggressively against all threats."
Air force jets on Saturday shot down the unarmed drone over southern Israel's Negev desert after it entered the country's airspace from the Mediterranean Sea.
Commenting on the recent blast that killed three Hizbullah fighters at an arms cache in the Bekaa town of Nabi Sheet, Nasrallah noted that “the defense forces of any country would usually deploy across the entire country, and the same applies for their arms and warehouses.”
Turning to the issue of the recent meida reports about the alleged death of a Hizbullah commander and several fighters in Syria, Nasrallah denied the claims, clarifying that the Hizbullah fighters were killed while defending Lebanese-inhabited border towns inside Syria.
“During the first days of the Syrian crisis, some Arab satellite networks claimed that Hizbullah had sent 3,000 fighters to Syria and we said that the reports were false and they are still false,” said Nasrallah.
“In Lebanon, nothing can be kept under wraps and we do not hide anything. When a martyr falls, we tell the truth to his family about when, where and how the dear brother was martyred,” he noted.
“We do not hold funerals in the dark, but rather publicly and on television. Where are the 75 martyrs that some media outlets claimed they were killed in the border town of Rableh? This is untrue,” added Nasrallah.
“Until the moment, we have not fought alongside the Syrian regime. It has not asked us to do so and who said that we have an interest in that,” he noted.
Nasrallah explained that there are 23 Syrian border towns and 12 farms that are inhabited by Lebanese residents of various religious beliefs, adding that around 30,000 Lebanese residents live in these towns.
“They maintained their ties with Lebanon and they vote in Lebanon. Some of the men of these Lebanese families have been members of Lebanese parties since decades,” he added.
“A large number of Lebanese residents of these border towns belong to Hizbullah and they have been fighting in the party's ranks since 30 years. We did not tell them how to deal with the incidents. We told them make your own choice and they chose to stay in their homes. Armed groups attacked them and carried out killings, kidnappings and even rapes,” Nasrallah clarified.
“Some of them decided to flee the area, but most of them stayed in their towns and started to arm themselves. The residents of these towns took the decision to stay and defend themselves against the armed groups and did not engage in the battle between the regime and the opposition,” Hizbullah's leader added.
He stressed that the party has decided to open a new front.
“I cannot prevent anyone, whether they belong to Hizbullah or not, from staying in the border areas. We have not opened a new front and our front is well-known,” Nasrallah added.
Hizbullah's newspaper al-Intiqad has reported that Hizbullah commander Ali Hussein Nassif, who is also known as Abou Abbas, was killed "while performing his jihadi duties." It did not say when or where he was killed.
Meanwhile, a Lebanese security official told the Associated Press that Nassif was killed in Syria and his body was returned to Lebanon through the Masnaa border crossing on Sunday. Speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, the official said the bodies of several other Hizbullah fighters have been brought back to Lebanon in recent days.
But Nasrallah stressed that “everything said about the martyr Abou Abbas is untrue.”
“You can ask the residents of the Bekaa who know that Abou Abbas was the military official responsible for the Bekaa infantry units, and of course the young men of the border towns were under his command. These Lebanese towns come under artillery fire on daily basis and several martyrs fell there, including martyr Abou Abbas,” Nasrallah noted.
“If there ever comes a day when our responsibility demands that we fight in Syria, we will not conceal that, but there is no such thing at the moment,” he added.
Commenting on the recent threats that were voiced against his party by the rebel Free Syrian Army, Nasrallah said: “I advise some parties in the Syrian opposition not to try to intimidate or scare us, as that will only go in vain.”
“False accusations will not do you any good and you cannot force me to apologize through false accusations,” Nasrallah added, addressing the Syrian opposition.
The rebel Free Syrian Army on Tuesday claimed arresting 13 Hizbullah fighters in the countryside of the Syrian province of Homs.
“Hizbullah is involved in the current clashes in Syria and its fighters are taking part in the ongoing battles,” Fahd al-Masri, head of the FSA Central Media Department, told MTV.
“We warn Hizbullah that if it does not stop, we are capable of teaching it a lesson it will not forget in the heart of Dahiyeh, and we tell (Hizbullah chief Sayyed) Hassan Nasrallah: we know how to find you and you are not safe from our strikes, you and all the leaders of your gang,” Masri added.
Hizbullah has stood by Syrian President Bashar Assad since the uprising began 18 months ago, even after the group supported revolts in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Bahrain. The group says it is backing the Syrian regime because of its support for the anti-Israel resistance movements in Lebanon and Palestine and because it is willing to implement political reforms.
Samer al-Homsi, an activist in Syria's central Homs province, which borders Lebanon, said Nassif was killed Saturday when a roadside bomb went off as the car he was in passed just outside the town of Qusayr. He said Nassif and several other people were killed in the blast.
"His job was to coordinate with Syrian security agencies," al-Homsi told AP via Skype.
He added that the rebels detonated the bomb "without knowing" that the target was a Hizbullah official. "We knew he was a Hizbullah official after it was announced by the group in Lebanon," he said.

Hay wejhit nazarak. I do not see any benefit for my country in linking my fate to Palestinian, to Golan, or to the existence of Israel. Especially that the price i can pay could be very expensive. One hour flight of a F16 jet could destroy the country and leave us without electricity, water and even mobile network. Min 3am tet7adda? what is your destructive potential in comparison with Israel? the speech of Nasrallah can only serve Israel and they are awaiting him to claim that he even has chemical weapons. In all their speeches, Israelis tend to emphasis the power of Hezbollah to justify their attacks. W3a ba2a ya zalameh, enough being the destruction tool of ourselves.

Who are your allies? you are alone "resisting" and the only one to be destroyed while your "allies" are just making speeches and giving words. Since 30 years, not a stone has been thrown in Golan. We are being destroyed while Syria and Iran are spectators. What research and industry do we have? what is our financial assets? do we own 1/10000 of what Israel do? and you call this a "war" and "resistance" ? The day Israel will finish eating what remains from Palestine, all resistance will disappear because its task is over. The Hezb has been created by Iran of Khomeiny and was first assigned terrorist missions. The actual Iran is a continuity of Khomeiny policy, under the benediction of USA and Israel. You should listen to the Iranian people to understand if they give a sh.. about the Palestinian cause. They do not have any single common point with them.

@mowaten
What you are failing to grasp is that:
- No matter how proud you may be of HA, fact is more than half the Lebanese feel otherwise and you cannot force them to adopt your views. In fact, your and HA's "my way or the highway" attitude serves only to alienate more Lebanese
- @Alexander's views are shared by the majority of Lebanese we believe. Your and HA's hiding behind false pride to serve Iranian interests just because they are Shiites like you is not good for Lebanon for the same reasons Alexander mentioned.
- You are only kidding yourself if you really believe that HA is a match for Israel. The way to fight Israel is to have a peaceful situation in Lebanon whereby the Lebanese can show off their ability at beating Israel economically, technically and in any other civilized endeavor. Yours is the Neanderthal approach.

This is pure ignorence. Pure. It is as stupid as Iran, if it ever does get one or two nuclear weapons, to fire them at Israel. Israel has 102 of them. So after you've shot your 2, you have to absorb 102 nuclear bombs. That is pure stupid.
Sending drones over Israel when they do not mind retaliating with F-18's, not one but many, it is inviting catastrophe. You do not pick a military fight with someone who has the greater firepower. You do not move to a playing field where your opponent has clear superiority. Its bad tactically, strategically, and its not good for your health either.

Do you think he cares? Do you think he cares hw many Lebanese die and if Lebanon is destroyed. Their mentality is different from the rest of us, we want to thrive and advance and ensure our children have a better life, they care about producing children to fight, and thy don't aspire for more....they thrive on war! Scum

As a Southerner, our section of the USA fought the North. The North was far superior in every military and economic way than the South and the South could effectively defend its territory as a defensive military force. The Southern forces failed when they went north and attempted offensive operations on northern territory (Gettesburg). With Southern weakness exposed and exploited, the South fell.
Hassan (Jefferson Davis) Nasrallah is on the same path and may he meet the same fate.

lol admitting that he is sending drones to Israael and acting as if it is the sole authority in Lebanon. It will never end i guess... Whether you are with hezbollah or not, Whether the zionists infiltrates our airspace nearly every day, are u going to accept that Hezbollah sends drones and acts like that? it is the lebanese state that is the one that protects and spies for Lebanon, nobody else.

This fat obnoxious thug talks while hiding underground. The sad part is that he has hijacked the good old shiite sect and openly advocates and plants Iranian terrorism in Lebanon. Even now he is lying while he speaks. The involvement of hizballah in Syria is well documented. Who is he trying to fool? Sooner or later his end will be from within and thats why Israel is not even bothering with him, they know where he is heading.

One would have thought that HA will be smarter than that as they used to be and keep everyone guessing about the drone especially if they were the ones that launched it in order to maintain the element of surprise or at least keep the Israelis off balance.
To verify that HA did it like that is indicative of weakness rather than strength and of the need to shore up an increasingly ineffective HA. This is not to mention that by doing so he is giving the Israelis casus belli for retaliation that most of the world will buy into regardless of how many Israeli incursions took place against Lebanon. You see HA is a pariah in the eyes of most of the world's nations so they turn a blind eye towards Israeli incursions while fully shining the spotlight on even the smallest of HA aggressive moves.
HA is asking for it most likely because of the Syrian dire situation, may the Lord help the rest of Lebanon.

Only in the eyes of 5 countries, the rest of the world respect HA. Please speak the truth,no matter what ones political views are always state facts to make your argument,dont exaggerate it takes away from the point your trying to make!!.. Good day.

Maybe in the world that you live in what you said is the truth. In the world that the rest of earth's inhabitants live in, only 5 nations respect HA while the rest believe it is a terrorist group. If you stop smoking the crap HA deals in the Dahia you can then see the truth.

Way to go Nasrallah:) Drones, now the zionists will not be sleeping and know that they are in reach of Hizbullah if they attempt to attack Lebanon again. What a man, what a leader, what a speaker, what a hero, what a true Lebanese:) Lebanon loves you Nassrallah, and the Arab world wish to have a leader like you:)

"Nasrallah: We have the right to operate reconnaissance drones whenever we want and this flight will not be the only flight."
turbans too tight I guess, this idiot seems to forget that Lebanon has a president, a prime minister, a cabinet, a parliament, an army etc but not a supreme leader at least not yet and that he was never elected to that post or any other by any Lebanese but was appointed by an Iranian. Testing Iranian technology on Lebanese soil without the consent of the Lebanese puts us all in danger with this piece of garbage coward hides.

Pure Teflees speech, plus very cheap lies to cover facts, the 'border towns' is much worse lie of mazare3 cheb3a, there are over a million Syrians in lebanon who mich 'arm themselves' in collaboration with palestenian camps and decide to 'defend themselves' agains the 'armed groups' of miqdads and da7iye. How horrible of a scenario for lebanese is that?? we are getting there btw, so long as the she3a community is in the hands of iran.
11 October 2012, 22:23

Nasralah is playing with fire, the use of 'armed groups' regime rhetoric is straight forward getting involved in the war against the Syrian people. In due course we will start seeing suicide attacks in lebanon, battles between jihadists and she3as in beka3. The 'law kuntu a3lam' doctrine will be far worse to deal with this time. Poor lebanon, PLO destroyed it in the 80's and Hizbustan destroyed it 10 times more in the 2000's.

So the rebeles threatning HA and the Sayed doesnt deserve
a reply back to in your opinion, so you dont question
the attackers you question the ones that answer the attackers,
I guess in Lebanon you guys perfer to let everyone attack you
verbally or physically,such as israel or fsa,and you dont get upset,
but when some reacts to the action this upsets you.Good Day.

and note that they call themselves islamic resistance and not lebanese resistance...
they will drive lebanon into war like they did in 2006 without lebanese consent... who are they to hold a country hostage of their megalomania?

Typical BS from the BFL (Big Fat Liar). He likes to speak in technicalities with "half-truths". For example:
Half-truth: Hezbollah fighters "have not fought alongside the Syrian regime"
Full-truth: We only fought alongside the shabiha, in civilian clothing, so our activities could be concealed whenever possible
Half-truth: Defense forces of any State would usually deploy across the entire country
Full-truth: Our arms are outside the control of the state, and no other country in the world willingly allows a sectarian, foreign-controlled militia to deploy and stockpile missiles and others weapons on its land.
Half-truth: We have not opened a new front
Full-truth: This is not a "new front" , as we have been fighting alongside and the shabiha from day 1. In fact we have been training the shabiha on how to snipe and kill peaceful protesters since before the Syrian civil war even started.

I have 5 words for you, put a sock in it.
Since when do comments on a blog require proof? I don't see you asking for proof on comments from Momo, FT, and Karim. Where's the proof on Nasrallah's comments? It's all a bunch of lies, everyone knows that. Some tidbits from the past:
Israeli would have started a war anyways
2006 was a Divine victory, even though Lebanon had 20 times more deaths, and 1000 times more structural damage
We won't use our weapons internally against Lebanese
The 4 saints are innocent
You can't interview the Harb assassinator because...
The accidental car bomb explosion was just a gas leak fire
The deaths of two Hezbollah thugs were a personal argument over finances
The STL is "politicized", so we won't cooperate
The Army or ISF can't enter Hezbollah areas because...
The kidnapped Hezbollah members were "pilgrims"
Hezbollah fighters in Syria are only there to protect Lebanese

Specifically, I want clear-cut evidence that Hezbollah fighters are battling alongside the shabiha with civilian clothing. Otherwise, your comments are mere speculation and thus would carry no weight or substance.

The Syrian army is 70% Sunni. It is widely known that the Syrian army is used in preliminary operations, to shell residential areas. After the shelling, and after the rebels have fled the area, the shabiha come in (under the guidance of Hezbollah and Quds Force members) to rape and massacre women and children, and slit the throats of unarmed civilians.

...only if the Israelis wiped them out in 2006 we'd be living in peace now. Why did the Siniora government come to the rescue and salvation of HA ,why? They didn't even thank him for saving them from Israeli annilation.Next time inshallah....

The drone's mission was to locate possible nuclear sites for retaliation in case Iran's installations were bombed. The mission was to defend Iran and had nothing to do with defending Lebanon.

"Hizbullah fighters were killed while defending Lebanese-inhabited border towns inside Syria."
Where exactly is the border ya Nassy boy? Neither you or ASSad will allow broder demarcation. Therefore your statement is a lie. Did these "Lebabese" call you and tell you to defend them? Whom are you defending them against, the Syrian people or the gov't killers?

The Shias of Lebanon should act quickly to free themselves from the Hezbollah hold. Hezbollah's adventures will bring more calamities to them and to Lebanon while increasing their isolation.

Let's see--talking points:
1) resistance
2) israel
3) syria/iran
and of course denying everything.
Move on, nothing to see. He's about the most predicable political figure ever.

Noussralla is becoming delusional...nothing last forever ya Hassoun...your arms protect you for now but that will not last forever...the PLO came and gone, the Israelis came and gone, the Syrians came and gone and you with your filthy militia will soon be gone, and then our Lebanon will be truly be independent.

the1phoenix,
I follow this blog and follow all the comment,most are usless,
and its clear to see who is not lebanese on this forum,I dont agree with your views or some of your views I should say,but most of the time your respectable and try to have a clear honest debate,but lately I notice you talking down to HA as if maybe the LF or anyone else in Lebanon can match these young mens fighting skills,heart and most of all determination,I just had to say to me you seem like a very well respected man whose quite intelligent, but if the US and Israel and all there allies have invested billions and billions of dollars to defeat them,and still they are there,please explain to me than how the LF or anyone else can match this force.. Thank you and have a blessed day.

One more thing the1phoenix,
Since I have been on this site you have stated that bashars days are numbered,but it seems like hes getting stronger and more control,i would think that after a certain time,lets say 2 years that its time to admit you were wrong and miscalculated,another sign of this is Jumblatt recent calmness towards syria and HA,hes usuallly spot on with his judgments,and realized he miscalculated,none the less as someone that I enjoy reading there posts as yours I as a reader would appreciate someone that can admit they are wrong and not follow the typical self centered arab bravado,I do learn alot from your views,but it would just be nice for some credibilty instead of repeating the same thing over and over again,cuz than it becomes insanity, Good Day my brother.

@THETRUTH
Just how you figure Bashar is getting stronger is beyond me. The rebels have:
- Gained grounds and territory in the north
- Cut the Syrian army's supply line to Aleppo
- Control most Northern border crossings
- Made gains in the coastal areas
- Are on the attack
Syria's economy is quickly grinding to a halt. Its foreign currency reservers are dwindling to a level where Bashar can hardly pay the army if it were not for Iran's financing. Everyone, including Russia, now agrees that he cannot remain post this crisis and must go.
And you still insist he is getting stronger! Pass that stuff you are smoking maybe then we can see things your way more...

I advise March 14 to mobilize their warriors ASAP and acquire drone-detecting equipment from anyone, even satan himself if he has them, to warn the Israelis if Hizbullah will dare again to do something, anything, that disturbs their Israeli friends. No Israel among us, no peace and no freedom and no democracy and no goodness and no... whatever is beneficial to March 14. PERIOD. You go, March 14 warriors. Let's plan for another successful endeavor that will overshadow all of the many previous ones. Go. Go. Go.

So when you say: What's your stupid point... you are saying that the point that you got is stupid but yet you are asking what this point that you call stupid is! Shouldn't you have written: What's your point, stupid... idiot (to emphasize that an idiot cannot say anything that is not stupid)? Cause if you do not get a point, how can you tell if it is stupid or not? And is you get a stupid point, why ask what this point is? Typical March 14 genius, my friend allouchi. March 14 leaders rely on guys and dolls like you, believe me, as stupid as it sounds.

You not getting my point is actually the point that you will never get. You are free to keep trying. And by the way, calling names is cute!
