Nasrallah says 'pressure' on Israel to continue from Lebanon front

W460

Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah noted Saturday that his group has escalated its attacks against Israel over the past week through introducing new weapons to the battle, noting that military “pressure” on Israeli will continue from Lebanon’s front as long as it is pressing on with its war on Gaza.

“Over the past week, an escalation took place in terms of the number of operations and the type of the used weapons, seeing as for the first time we have used suicide drones and the Burkan rockets, which are rockets that weigh 300 to 500 kilograms each,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech marking Hezbollah’s Martyr Day.

He also pointed out that Hezbollah used Katyusha rockets to respond to the killing of civilians in Ainata and the Israeli airstrike on Iqlim al-Tuffah.

“Drones and Katyushas reached deeper regions inside the occupied territories and this was required by the nature of the battle,” Nasrallah said, quoting an Israeli report as saying that a single hospital in Israel’s Galilee had admitted more than 350 wounded soldiers and civilians since the beginning of confrontations.

Nasrallah also revealed that Hezbollah has been sending “reconnaissance drones” into Israel on “daily basis.”

“Some of them reached Haifa, Acre and Safed and sometimes they would go beyond the north (of Israel),” Nasrallah said.

“Over the past days, we witnessed a new wave of Israeli threats against Lebanon due to the qualitative and quantitative escalation on this front. The general course on the south Lebanon front is continuing and it will remain a pressing front,” Nasrallah added.

He also applauded Hezbollah’s “heroic jihadist fighters” and the popular “environment” that is “embracing” them in the border towns while bearing “the burden of displacement and material losses.”

Nasrallah also hailed the political and popular stances in Lebanon that have been supportive of Gaza and Hezbollah in south Lebanon despite “a few rogue stances.”

“Today the battle is different and it’s not me who declares the steps. Our policy in the current battle is that the battlefield is doing the actions and the word belongs to it. On Lebanon’s front, the eyes must remain on the battlefield and not on words,” he added.

“We are in a battle of resilience, patience and accumulation of achievements and points,” Nasrallah went on to say.

Time is not in favor of the enemy and all the factors, including the captives file, will pressure the enemy. We must continue the pressure and those bearing the most burden are the people of Gaza,” he concluded.

You guys probable know my fondness for hassin and how ecstatic and looking forward I was to the new season of the "hassin, out of the manhole?" series. But TBH this season has been a total let down. I donno if it's the because of the SAG-AFTRA strike or what, but this season's episodes look like they've been written by a five year old child. They are a shamble and hassin sounds confused, incoherent, rambling on about nothings. I will demonstrate next.

Take this example:
"Despite its difficult circumstances, Syria is hosting the resistance movements and bearing the consequences. No one is asking for more than this from Syria."
Seriously, hassin? So Bashar manages an Airbnb now and is having to deal with bad reviews? NTW hassin, everyone is asking more from Syria especially the Gazans and the civilians of South Lebanon.
Or this:
"We have responded to the brutal killing of civilians in Ainata through the shelling of Kiryat Shmona with Katyusha rockets."
Katyusha rockets hassin, really? What is this the 1970s? At least you didn't attack them with a Hwacha!
The biggest disappointment to me was that last week's episode was Shakespearian compare to this one today.
I hope now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over we can have the charismatic confident, off the cuff hassin back.

Doesn't the Government of the Republic of Lebanon realise that if Hizballah continues with its attacks on Israel, then the Israeli retaliation will not be able to differentiate between Hizballah and Lebanese targets.
