Nasrallah says Israel faces 'worst days', warns military of 'extensive damage' in case of war

The secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has warned the Israeli regime about an extensively destructive response should it launch a ground invasion of the country.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks on Wednesday, addressing a rally held in the Lebanese capital Beirut on the occasion of Ashura, which commemorates the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam.

“If your tanks come to Lebanon and south Lebanon, you will not have a shortage of tanks, as you will no longer have any tanks left,” he said.

Hezbollah and the Israeli regime have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year.

The firefight began after the regime launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip that came following al-Aqsa Storm, a surprise operation by Gaza’s resistance groups.

Hezbollah has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Israeli regime continued its war on Gaza, which has so far killed over 38,700 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said fighters in the Lebanese resistance movement are committed to confront the occupation of their Palestinian brethren.

Nasrallah noted how Hezbollah’s operations had exacted a heavy toll on the regime.

“The toll includes 9,254 individuals, among them officers and soldiers, with 3,000 amputees, 650 paralyzed, 185 completely blind, and several thousands suffering severe psychological trauma,” he said.

“Our front in Lebanon will remain active as long as the aggression against Gaza, its people, and its resistance continues in all its forms,” Nasrallah asserted.

In the same context, he cautioned that potential continuation of the regime’s aggression against Gaza would prompt the Lebanese resistance to start targeting “new Israeli settlements that were previously untouched.”

Israel unable to take 'stupid step' as it knows 'heavy price': Hezbollah deputy chief

A senior official of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says Israel knows for sure that it cannot make any stupid and reckless move against the resistance movement as the regime will suffer a "substantial blow."

Israel going through its ‘worst days’

Hezbollah’s leader noted how resistance groups hailing from Yemen and Iraq had joined launching similar retaliatory operations against the regime.

He commented on the Yemeni operations that have been targeting Israeli ships and the vessels heading towards the ports of the occupied Palestinian territories in support of war-hit Palestinians in Gaza.

“Yemen has successfully imposed a blockade on the port of Eilat (in the southern part of the occupied territories), leading to its declaration of bankruptcy and causing shipping prices to soar highly. This has had serious repercussions for the entity,” Nasrallah said.

“For the first time…, the Israeli entity is experiencing its worst days. For the first time, Israel appears unable to achieve its goals and is attempting to cover up its failures by committing massacres and killing civilians,” he remarked.

The regime, he added, was “suffering across multiple fronts: Its army, security service ... political parties, immigration, self-confidence, the people’s confidence in staying, and the world’s view of it.”

“This is the result of relentless fighting and steadfastness.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasralleh held the United States fully responsible for the deadly aggression that was being waged by the regime against Gaza, citing Washington’s unreserved arms support for Tel Aviv.
