Nasrallah: Hizbullah Making Precision Missiles, Drones inside Lebanon

W460

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday announced that his group now possesses the ability to transform its ordinary rockets into precision-guided missiles, adding that Hizbullah has also been manufacturing drones for several years now.

“I tell the Israelis that what they call a ‘battle between wars’ has turned the threat into an opportunity for the resistance,” Nasrallah said in a televised address, referring to Israel’s recurrent strikes on Hizbullah-bound arms shipments inside Syria.

“We now possess the ability to transform our thousands of rockets into precision-guided missiles,” Nasrallah added, noting that such missiles are spread throughout Lebanon and are not stored in a single place.

Hizbullah’s leader also boasted that his group has been manufacturing drones for several years now, adding that it is willing to start selling such aircraft.

He also warned Israel against carrying out any landings or airborne operations inside Lebanon.

“Should the enemy dare to carry out a certain operation in search of our missiles, it might face an ‘Ansariyeh 2’ operation,” Nasrallah said, referring to Israel’s 1997 botched landing on Ansariyeh’s shore in which 12 of its troops were killed.

Nasrallah also said that Hizbullah has been working on improving its military capabilities, revealing that last summer, Hizbullah fighters conducted the largest training exercise since the group was formed in 1982.

Stressing that Hizbullah will continue to “protect Lebanon” through the so-called army-people-resistance equation, Nasrallah added that his party does not fear any national dialogue over the fate of its weapons.

“Our strategy is clear and let them demonstrate their strategy to us instead of insults and slurs,” he said.

“We insist on strengthening and equipping the army and we also insist that the assistance should not come from a single side,” he added, referring to Washington’s support for the Lebanese Army.

As for the upcoming parliamentary elections, Nasrallah emphasized that “all electoral rounds in Lebanon are important and critical” and underscored that Hizbullah supports holding the elections on time.

Nasrallah also commented on Interior Minister Bassam al-Mawlawi’s banning of two events for the Bahraini opposition in Lebanon and his criticism of a rally that was held at a pro-Hizbullah venue.

“Those who met yesterday in the Risalat Hall are the ones who consolidated Lebanon’s identity and the Bahraini opposition has the right to celebrate the anniversary of its revolution,” Nasrallah stressed.

“Lebanon has always been the refuge of political oppositions in the Arab world. Who wants to transform it into an oppressive country? Lebanon is the country of freedoms and this is its real identity,” he said.

The day this evil Iranian sectarian terrorist is brutally and violently murdered is the day we celebrate our true independence.

Had to laugh at this;)!

Sure Israel's economy is in shambles, its national debt exceeds $150 billion, it defaulted on its sovereign debts, its currency depreciated more than 20 times, it is isolated, and has no friends.

What a demagogue!

Now I am confused ... did the "Resistance" start in 1982 or didn't it? ... only a bullsh*tter knows for sure

Haha good one.

But I think he’d be sending them to one of Bashar’s ovens as they did with the free Syrian people.

Meanwhile, Israel does not have to pay anything, and still the Lebanese are leaving by the thousands...

I believe Israel want to cut of the head od the snake, Iran, and not bother with the rattling tail that will rot once the head is gone.

But the Syrian opposition has and had no right to celebrate the anniversary of their revolution. You used to execute them or arrest them and hand them over to the Syrian regime.

Nasrallah: Hizbullah Making Precision Missiles, Drones inside Lebanon

Great.... and the Lebanese people are starving! Take your missiles and drones and shove them where the sun don't shine.

Thumb Machia 16 February 2022, 22:17

Can we cook the missiles and drones to eat them? Has Hezbollah created a tech industry around this. Or is Nasrallah just yapping to get the pay heck from Khamanei?
The aim of politics is to bring about peace and prosperity to a majority of people while Hezbollah’s aim is to serve the interests of its paymasters in Teheran.
What a monstrous circus!
