Top Hezbollah commander sends unprecedented warnings to Israel
A senior Hezbollah military commander has noted that Israel is exerting strenuous efforts in order not to engage in another war with his group, because it knows that it will be “destructive” for it and that “it will not be able to confront Hezbollah in all fields.”
“The enemy must know that war with Hezbollah this time would mean a destruction of the Israeli entity’s infrastructure, which would turn the lives of settlers into a real hell in which they cannot live under fire and destruction. We are confident that the enemy will work on pulling corpses from the rubble during the war and this is what it and its people have not experienced until the moment,” the Hezbollah commander told al-Akhbar newspaper in an interview published Friday.
Speaking with high confidence, the commander added that “the Israeli army cannot protect its sea and it is incapable of protecting its vital infrastructure nor even its land border.”
“It cannot protect its domestic front from shelling and it can’t even protect itself.”
He added: “The Israeli army knows very well that it cannot protect the ships that are supposed to enter into the Palestinian ports nor to protect the warships.”
“It also knows that the moment war erupts, we will not fight a defensive war. For the first time in its history, Israel will have to defend its 1948 territory,” the commander went on to say.
He also warned that should an all-out war break out, “the Palestinian resistance factions will be a partner in the battle and the Palestinian people will mobilize, including in the 1948 areas.”
Referring to the standoff over the demarcation of the sea border between Lebanon and Israel, the Hezbollah commander said: “The enemy knows that we benefit from any chance, and that if it commits any mistake, we will deal it a major blow that forces it not to think of attacking Lebanon.”
“The border demarcation issue might be one of these chances, and if the enemy thinks of any reaction, we will respond directly, and this represent a dilemma for it.”
