Hezbollah Secretary General Seyed Hassan Nasrallah vowed a swift response to the Israeli airstrike that killed Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Aruri in Beirut. He mentioned the possibility of liberating the rest of Lebanon after the end of the Gaza invasion and stressed that a clear comparison is needed to prevent violations of sovereignty.
Seyed Nasrallah, speaking at a memorial service for Hezbollah official Haji Muhammad Yagi (Abu Salim) in Baalbek on Friday, stressed that the ongoing fighting in the south offers a historic opportunity for the complete liberation of Lebanon.
It was emphasized that the operations of the resistance on the southern border confirmed the equation of deterrence with the Zionist enemy and confirmed the possibility of establishing a balance capable of preventing any violations of Lebanese sovereignty. He praised the Lebanese Front for creating this new opportunity.
Commenting on the Islamic Resistance Front fighting Zionist enemies on the southern Lebanese border, which began operations a day after the start of Operation Flood, Seyyed Nasrullah Al-Aqsa noted the media's disdain for this important front.
Seyyed Nasrolla said the resistance, which stretched more than 100 kilometers and lasted more than 90 days, systematically attacked all enemy border positions and numerous rear areas and settlements in response to Zionist attacks on civilians.
"Our response to the attack on civilians stretched over 100 kilometers and lasted more than 90 days. It included the precise targeting of all Israeli border areas as well as many rear positions and settlements," Syed Nasrallah said. "We conducted over 670 site operations during the period, and on some days we conducted 23 operations," he said.
“Targeted locations include 48 border posts and 11 rear posts. "Also, 50 border posts and 17 settlements protected by enemy forces were targeted on several occasions," he said. Reflecting on the results of the three-month battle, he noted the heavy losses of enemy soldiers and officers and emphasized the comprehensive nature of the operation.
"Despite the secrecy of the enemy press, the resistance responded with over 90 video messages exposing the truth of the situation."
“Every hostile position was systematically attacked and attention was given to technical and intelligence equipment. Every border post was attacked so repeatedly that no border post remained intact.
The technological equipment targeted for resistance is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars," said S.G. Seyed Nasrallah, citing hostile sources in the Israeli Defense Ministry, who said that as of October 7, the number of disabled soldiers had reached 12,000.
It has been repeatedly targeted with an emphasis on destroying information and technology equipment in all hostile areas. The leader Heezbollah rejected the opposition's fault and was refined. He mentioned and explained his accuracy.
Nasrallah said: "In the second stage, enemy soldiers are afraid of fear in certain areas." It leads to numerous tanks and vehicles according to the opponent's position and meeting. Sai I Nasralla mentioned that the enemies tried to reimburse the technical costs using enemy drones and exploration aircraft, which tried to make a strict media position for the victims.
He pointed out that Red Army experts believe that the actual number of victims is three times higher than the figures announced by the occupying forces.
According to Israeli Ministry of Health sources, there were more than 2,000 casualties on the northern front. Seyed Nasrolla pointed out that if people knew that the enemy had lost men and vehicles, there would be no doubt about the futility of fighting on the northern front. He argued that concealing enemy losses was part of psychological warfare to avoid public embarrassment.
Seyed Nasrallah referred to the situation on the southern border and quoted an Israeli minister who described it as an insult "to Israel".
He explained that the objects of resistance are military installations, officers, and soldiers and that any attack on homes is a response to enemy attacks on civilians. Seyyed Nasrallah pointed out that one of the consequences of the fighting on the southern front is the displacement of people from the northern settlements, reversing the historical trend of Lebanese refugees during the war.
"This move is expected to put psychological, political, and security pressure on the enemy government and increase instability on the northern front."
Seyed Nasrolla, answering questions about the feasibility of opening the northern front, confirmed that the main goal is to put pressure on the enemy government, to weaken the enemy so that it will stop attacking Gaza, and to reduce the pressure of the resistance in the situation. made. Let's go.
He claimed that these objectives were achieved through the Lebanese front, forcing the enemy to deploy a significant number of soldiers and withholding information about all divisions and brigades in Gaza for fear of events on the front.
Seyed Nasrolla: "Aren't the high casualties, the destruction of vehicles, and the movement of the northern front the pressure on the enemy government?" - he asked. Seyed Nasrallah described the security zone inside the northern structure as having a depth of 3 km and up to 7 km in some areas.
Nasrallah warned settlers seeking a "solution" from Hezbollah that such a choice would be wrong and that he would be the first to pay the price. He urged people to call on the government to stop its attacks on Gaza, noting that other options would lead to more displacement and higher costs for refugees in the north. Seyyed Nasrallah responded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments about border resistance tents by demanding recognition of the destruction of 48 border areas, 11 rear areas, and attacks on 17 settlements and 50 border points.
He questioned whether the resistance was hiding Israeli soldiers as "rats" and noted that the scale of routine operations was a deterrent. Seyed Nasrallah emphasized that what is happening on the southern border is a real war that goes far beyond the symbolism of "tents". "The tent days that Netanyahu was so proud of are now a thing of the past because today we begin a real and meaningful struggle."
Seyed Nasrallah reminded us that the current operation on the southern border is not a new operation led by the rebels since 1948. Only once in the past was an operation similar to the current one, which resulted in the Israeli bombing of Beirut. "Previously, an operation would lead to mass destruction in the whole of southern Lebanon," Seyed Nasrallah said. He pointed out that Israel's resistance now validates the deterrence equation established years ago.
The Secretary-General saw an opportunity for Lebanon to liberate the rest of the country after ending the offensive in the Gaza Strip from the B1 area to Shebaa Farms. He emphasized the possibility of creating an equation that would prevent enemies from violating Lebanon's sovereignty and emphasized that dialogue and negotiations would not take place until the aggression against Gaza ceases.
"At a historical moment when we have been given a unique opportunity to establish an equation that will fully liberate every corner of our country and protect the sovereignty of our country, this opportunity was created with the help of the Lebanese Front," he said. said.
The killing of Aruri
Regarding the recent Zionist attack on Beirut and the assassination of Hamas Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri, Seyyed Nasrallah reiterated that large-scale and dangerous incursions into the southern Lebanese countryside will not be tolerated. He deeply mourned the death of Sheikh Saleh and focused on their strong friendship.
Syed Nasrallah a spus că crima nu rămâne nepedepsită și este un loc inevitabil pentru răzbunare. “There is no doubt that there will be no answer or punishment for the murder of Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri,” he warned.
“This decision will be implemented on the ground.” Remaining silent on such serious violations would cause greater harm to Lebanon as a whole than the potential risks of responding on the ground. "We cannot remain silent about the serious violations that threaten Lebanon."
In a speech on Wednesday, Seyed Nasrallah warned Israel's enemies against launching an all-out war against Lebanon and vowed that the Islamist resistance would continue to fight without restrictions. His Highness emphasized that Hezbollah's operations have so far been in line with Lebanon's national interests and threatened Israel's enemies to cross the border if war with Lebanon breaks out.
Iraq's front-line
Seyed Nasrolla spoke about the situation in Iraq and mentioned the historical opportunity to avoid American aggression, especially considering the current strategic defeat of the United States and NATO in Ukraine. Syed Nasrolla commented on the ongoing military operation in Iraq: "The main motivation is to support Gaza, and the US government is concerned about that and dealing with the dire situation in Ukraine."
He pointed out that US forces were targeting Iraq's popular mobilization forces and drew attention to Iraq's ability to avoid the deception and lies of the US occupation. "The actual result of the Islamist insurgents in Iraq opening a front line of support for the Gaza Strip is the real prospect of Iraq's liberation from American occupation."
Seyed Nasrallah called on the Iraqi government, the House of Representatives, and the Iraqi people to unite to repel the criminals of aggression involved in the atrocities in Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon. "Today is a historic opportunity for the Iraqi government, the House of Representatives, and the Iraqi people to eliminate the invaders and perpetrators of violence responsible for the bloodshed of Iraqis, Iranians, and the people of the region," His Majesty said.
He praised the Iraqi government's courageous stand against the flooding of Al-Aqsa, called for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, stressed that Iraq does not need Americans to fight ISIS, and said that cooperation with Gaza is a national blessing. Possible withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.
“Iraq does not need US troops to fight ISIS. There are now indications that some ISIS-affiliated forces in Syria are seeking refuge or support from US forces,” the Hezbollah leader said.
Front in Yemen
Seyed Nasrallah pointed out that some Arab regimes and the media have taken steps to ridicule the actions of the resistance front. They tried to distract attention from their own failures, especially when the Yemeni army attacked Eilat.
These critics accuse Yemen of trying to rehabilitate its image in the Arab world. “Al Qaeda has actively sought to discredit all the efforts of the resistance axis in support of Gaza in order to cover up its failures. "Those who do not evaluate the actions of the resistance axis today are those who have not contributed since the offensive on Gaza began," he said.
"Participation in jihad brings honor, but non-participation brings humiliation," Seyyed Nasrola said, adding that the calm and indifferent regime was surprised by the Yemenis' unexpected actions in the Red Sea. Hezbollah's top commander praised the firm stance of Ansarullah, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, and the Sanaa government, stressing that they have always been concerned about their image and status before God Almighty.
Seyed Nasrallah pointed out that some people have a much lower psychological and spiritual level, making them fundamentally unfit for positions that require them to confront the enemy. He noted that Yemen's position has caused several sectors to reconsider their internal views on Ansarullah. Yemen is now firmly established in regional and international comparisons and has captured the world's attention.
"A major national achievement has been the transformation of the government in Sanaa from a domestic force into an important part of the international equation, with the world taking notice despite efforts to marginalize it," a senior official said. Seyed Nasrallah questioned the absence of the Israeli air force in Yemen, attributing it to Yemen's deterrence capabilities.
Seyed Nasrallah addressed the recent protests of the Yemeni people and conveyed his message to the US government, particularly President Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, and Secretary of War. He emphasized that Yemen's message to the United States is not just about the government, the country, or the army known as Ansarullah. Instead, tens of millions of Yemenis faced defeat at the hands of the invaders. "Today's message from Yemen is aimed at the United States, emphasizing that this challenge is not only against Ansarullah but against the tens of millions of Yemeni people who have a history of resistance and defeating aggressors."
Syed Nasrallah urged the Biden administration to understand this history and emphasized that Yemen will not stand still or hesitate. He noted Yemen's growing pride in the Arab and Islamic world, as well as its friends and enemies.
in a hostile environment
Seyyed Nasrallah expressed his condolences to the families of the martyrs of the Islamic resistance. "Considering my safety, I would like to stand beside you and kiss your hands and foreheads to express my gratitude and hope."
He turned to the people in the south and said, “If the enemy's destiny is to defeat the resistance in Gaza and expel their people, their next target will be southern Lebanon, especially southern Litani. "You are the one who destroyed their ambitions!"
"Hezbollah fighters fight bravely in cold and rainy conditions, under enemy fire. "They are ready to continue to advance, attack enemy positions and concentrations, and respond to serious gaps in Dahiyeh," his authorities said.
At the beginning of his speech, Seyed Nasrolla expressed his condolences to the martyrs who died at the shrine of Haji Qasem Suleimani in Kerman. He expressed condolences to Iraq, Seyyed Ali Sistani, the Popular Mobilization Forces, and the Nujaba Movement for the martyrdom of Haji Abu Taqwa al-Saidi.
Seyed Nasrallah made an important part of his speech about Haji Abu Salim Yaghi, whose memorial service was held at the shrine of Sayeda Hawla in Baalbek. He listed Yagi's many qualities and the deep friendship that united them.
“Abu Salim Haji emerged as a revolutionary and activist in the Baalbek region and left an indelible mark on those around him. My testimony against Abu Salim Haji is not just a report. This is clear proof of our strong bond that dates back to our youth in 1978... From the moment we were introduced and in the first hours, a deep sense of brotherhood, love, friendship, and unshakable trust was built between us. "
