Hezbollah Executive Council head Sayyed Hashem Safieddine on Wednesday expressed strong condemnation and outrage over Tuesday’s massacre at a Gaza hospital, blaming the U.S. and the West for “spilling the blood of the peoples.”
“The bombardment that targeted the hospital yesterday confirms that the attack was premeditated,” Safieddine told a Hezbollah rally in Beirut’s southern suburbs that was organized to condemn the hospital carnage.
“This era is not like the past, it is rather the era of resistance, peoples, the Palestinian resistance factions and the resistance forces in the region,” the Hezbollah official added, noting that his party has information that “Israel with its entire military and security leadership is confused, weak and scared” and that “the Americans came to calm its fear.”
“We tell U.S President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the scheme of displacing Gaza’s residents shall not pass,” Safieddine warned.
Addressing Netanyahu, Biden and the Europeans, the Hezbollah official said: “If you are warning us, our answer is that you should beware us, seeing as any mistake that you commit against our resistance will be met with a resounding and loud response.”
“You once came to Lebanon with your fleets and our decision was confrontation, and when we confronted you, you ran away from Lebanon like mice. We are still a present and strong resistance, today we are thousands-fold stronger and don’t you dare make a mistake,” Safieddine added.
