Al-Ahed News – Hezbollah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed that Israel must pay a price for its aggression on Lebanon. Addressing thousands of mourners on the first night of Ashoura, Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted that “there is no doubt that since last Sunday, Lebanon as well as the Israeli enemy have been living in a new phase and special conditions.”
Hailing the Lebanese national unity over the recent Israeli aggression, His Eminence praised the positions of the Lebanese President, House Speaker, Prime Minister and the Supreme Council of Defense. “The Lebanese consensus has its significance, especially when the enemy is exploiting the situation to incite on the resistance,” he added, reiterating that “the response on the Israeli aggression will be from Lebanon.”
Sayyed Nasrallah further clarified that “stating that the response is not in Shebaa Farms means that the response will be open because our response to previous operations was in Shebaa Farms.” In parallel, the Resistance Leader emphasized: “We have been greatly patient when it comes to drones and the first response to the attack in the Dahiyeh means that we must start working to down it. We have the right to down the drones, but that does not mean that we will down each one on every hour, day or week,” Sayyed Nasrallah elaborated.
According to His Eminence, Hezbollah Resistance works within a specific performance and tactic i.e. based on its will and estimation. Based on this, he announced that the Resistance “will choose the time, place and reasons of response.”
Back to the recent Israeli drone aggression on Dahiyeh [Southern Suburbs of Beirut], Sayyed Nasrallah revealed that “the 1st drone was aimed to explode as well as the 2nd one. The two drones aimed to land, drop the bomb and leave in the middle of the night.”
“The Israeli must pay the price and the response is coming,” he declared, pointing out that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s pretext is the claim of precision missiles, and then talking about a goal associated with the manufacture of precision missiles.”
According to His Eminence, “If we had precision missile factories, we would say that we have that, but we do not have precision missile factories. We have precise missiles but we do not have factories for manufacturing it and if one day we were able to have these factories I will proudly announce that,” he said, accusing “Netanyahu for looking for a pretext to impose new rules.”
Meanwhile, His Eminence stated that “Netanyahu is lying to his people by alleging that through what happened in the Dahiyeh he disrupted the precision missiles factories. Netanyahu is lying to the Israelis and the international community.”
“We have in Lebanon what we need in any small or large confrontation from precise missiles,” Sayyed Nasrallah declared, underscoring that “the response to the Israeli aggression is final. The issue for us is about establishing rules and protecting a country.”
Warning that “through these drones, the Israeli can put bombs and land on the roof of any house, car or building and blow up,” His Eminence cautioned that “the exploding drones will open the door of assassinations in Lebanon.”
“The resistance is not interested in saying what is the response and everything that is being said is neither true nor accurate,” he added, noting that “the Resistance’s way of response is known to only few people and we have no sources and this confuses the enemy.”
Sayyed Nasrallah also said: “The subject of the response is in the hands of the resistance’s military commanders who know what they are doing. It is important to make the enemy understand that our country is not open for aggression.”
