Nasrallah to Make Televised Speech Next Week
Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is expected to make a televised speech on February 16 to commemorate the “Martyr Leaders Day”, As Safir newspaper reported on Monday.
Nasrallah's speech will address the local and regional developments, in addition to the conflict with Israel, the daily said.
Hizbullah's chief will also focus on the crisis in Syria.
In his latest speech on January 30, Nasrallah declared that the party no longer recognizes the rules of engagement with Israel, saying that it has the right to respond to an Israeli attack in any way or time it deems fit.
His remarks came in light of an operation in the occupied Shebaa Farms that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded seven others.
The attack prompted Israel to shell areas in southern Lebanon in a significant escalation along the volatile border.
Hizbullah said in its claim of responsibility that it targeted several vehicles transporting officers and soldiers with missiles to avenge the Israeli raid on Syria's Quneitra that killed six of its fighters and a top Iranian general.
