Hezbollah will retaliate to any Israeli attacks, Nasrallah warns
Al Jazeera
Hezbollah leader’s statement follows the first exchange of fire between Israel and the Lebanese group in years.
The head of Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, has promised a “suitable and proportionate” response to any Israeli air strikes on Lebanon after a flare-up at the border this week. Israel carried out its first air raids on Lebanese soil in years on Thursday, prompting Hezbollah to fire rockets back at Israel the following day. “Our response was linked to the Israeli strikes that occurred in south Lebanon for the first time in 15 years,” Nasrallah said on Saturday in a televised speech ahead of the anniversary of the end of the last war with Israel in 2006.More Related News
