Diary of August 1 2006: Threat to Hit Tel Aviv

Local Editor

On the evening of August 1 2006 the Secretary General of Hizbullah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah spoke about the course of the Zionist aggression on Lebanon, and its confrontation by the Islamic Resistance.

He noted in his speech the lies and claims by the enemy, reaffirming the destruction of the Zionist battleship "Saar-4.5" just off Tyre city shores. He concluded his speech by directing a decisive threat to the enemy entity that said if the capital Beirut is bombed, the Islamic Resistance will strike Tel Aviv, the capital of the usurper entity.

This serious warning curbed the Zionist enemy from going too far in its war on Lebanon, where enemy leaders had been threatening to bomb the capital Beirut, its buildings and public administrative institutions, and refrained from launching such threats after the Secretary-General's threat to hit Tel Aviv.
