Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s warning comes days after 10 Lebanese civilians were killed in Israeli air raids.
Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah has said that Israel will pay a price “in blood” for killing Lebanese civilians, signalling the conflict across the Lebanon-Israel border could intensify.
Israeli air raids on Wednesday killed at least 10 civilians, including five children, in southern Lebanon. Three Hezbollah fighters were also killed.
In a televised speech on Friday, Nasrallah said, “The response to the massacre should be continuing resistance work at the front and escalating resistance work at the front.”
“Our women and our children who were killed in these days, the enemy will pay the price of spilling their blood in blood,” Nasrallah said.
He also highlighted that the killings had increased Hezbollah’s determination and said the group would increase its “presence, strength, fire, anger” and expand its operations.
