Raad: Hizbullah Prepares for Post-Ayoub Stage
Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad said his party was preparing for the post-Ayoub stage after it succeeded in flying the drone over Israel last month, the National News Agency reported Monday.
“The Islamic resistance is preparing for the post-Ayoub stage and let the Zionist enemy know that we won’t allow any wrongdoings,” said Raad during a ceremony on the occasion of the resistance’s Martyrs Day in the southern town of Tfahta.
Israel's air force shot down the unarmed drone over the Negev desert on Oct. 6 after it entered the country's airspace from the Mediterranean Sea.
Several days later, Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced his movement had sent the drone, saying the aircraft was Iranian-built and assembled in Lebanon.
"It overflew sensitive and important installations for dozens of kilometres until the enemy spotted it near (the nuclear site) Dimona," he said, without identifying the installations.
Iran also insisted that it had obtained images of sensitive areas of Israel, despite denial by the Jewish state.
“We calculate thoroughly and within a strategy every single step we make to reach the required goal at the appropriate time and place,” said Raad.
Addressing the March 14 opposition alliance that has been calling for the resignation of the government, the Hizbullah lawmaker said: “We are not in conflict with anyone over power but no one should get the illusion that any authority that contradicts the resistance's policies could come to power in Lebanon.”
