Israeli FM says 'Nasrallah is next'

W460

Israel’s foreign minister has said Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah could be Israel’s next target.

Eli Cohen spoke a day after a Hezbollah strike wounded 11 people in northern Israel. The Iranian-backed group has fired missiles and rockets into Israel throughout the two-and-a-half month war between Israel and Hamas. Israel has responded dozens of airstrikes and artillery barrages.

The daily battles have forced tens of thousands of Israelis to evacuate their homes from border communities and raised fears that they could escalate into a region-wide war.

Touring Israel’s border with foreign ambassadors. Cohen said Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, “must understand that he’s next.”

"If he doesn't want to be next in line, he should immediately implement the U.N. Security Council's resolution (1701) and keep Hezbollah away from the north of Litani," Cohen said.

"We will work to exhaust the political option, and if it does not work, all options are on the table in order to ensure the security of the State of Israel and return the residents of the north to their homes," he added.

What should Lebanese expect the government to do when Israel assassinates Hezbollah's Nasrallah? How quickly will the government collect testimony and evidence of the killing? Will it matter that all the investigation into the destruction caused by the Port of Beirut explosion in 2020 is still in the queue of work to be done or will the Israeli action jump the line ahead of the duty to serve Lebanese citizens? Will arresting the perpetrators wait in queue after arresting the murders of Rafiq Hariri?

After this message by the Israeli PM, Nasrallah is said to have ordered an even deeper tunnel under Dahiyeh: "He is so afraid of ending up six feet under, so he prefers to stay on hundred and sixty feet under" unnamed sources claimed.

The real snake is the Iranian cockroach Khameni. Israel should assassinate all of Iran's rulers and then followers like Nasrallah, the Houthi's and the Iraqi militias will spin in circles knowing they are next.
