Zeinab Essa
Hezbollah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned the “Israeli” entity that its drones violating the Lebanese sovereignty will be under direct targeting from the Islamic Resistance.
Addressing tens of thousands of mourners commemorating the 3rd night of Muharaam [Ashura], Sayyed Nasrallah revealed that starting from 1 September 2019, there are no more red lines in the confrontation with “Israel”
At the beginning of his televised speech, His Eminence thanked the Mujahideen, who set the resistance’s equations and scored the achievements that deter the enemy. “With the efforts of the resistance men, victories and equations are made since they were present in the field all over the time.”
He further thanked the Lebanese Army, which was ready and present as well as the Lebanese people who continued living normally.
Sayyed Nasrallah also thanked the media outlets and field correspondents, who risked their lives to cover the developments on the ground.
Back to Sunday’s operation in the Occupied Northern Palestinian territories, he stated that Hezbollah’s response was composed of two titles, the first was on the border with the 1948 occupied Palestinian lands, and the second is related to the drones that failed to achieve its targets.”
“We did not accept a new equation and did not accept the loss of the July victory, so we decided to respond to what happened,” he announced, pointing out that “declaring a response is in itself a major challenge to the resistance.”
According to His Eminence, “What has happened since the recent “Israeli” aggression is a confrontation with the enemy.”
“The “Israeli” evacuated the border and there were no soldiers or vehicles. They even evacuated entire outposts on the front line,” the Resistance Leader clarified, underscoring that “not only did the “Israeli” retreat but he even escaped.”
Moreover, Sayyed Nasrallah mentioned that “the “Israeli” evacuated military barracks on the border and sometimes in the depth of the entity. The entire border was evacuated, you couldn’t see a single soldier on the border, nor any of the tractors we saw for a time. Second, they evacuated all their forward command posts.”
According to His Eminence: “They emptied entire bases, like Avivim, a complete evacuation. A reporter from one channel walked around there and showed how everything was empty, there was no one. Entire outposts were emptied, some of them deep inside. Even settlers were afraid to show up in their settlements and there was a state of silence and everyone remained in his house. The “Israeli” did not leave any iron dome that could be transferred to the northern settlements.”
Highlighting that “the “Israeli” was in full alert, he confirmed that “in few days, this arrogant and tyrannical state- “Israel”- that frightened hundreds of millions and which claims that it is the first army in the region was afraid, anxious and disoriented.”
On the other side, Sayyed Nasrallah hailed the fact that “neither did the Lebanese army nor the resistance men leave their posts.”
“The resistance carried out the operation in the daylight, close to the border and while the “Israeli” drones were in the sky,” he added, noting that “Hezbollah deliberately did not carry the operation at night.”
Moreover, His Eminence went on to elaborate that “the resistance hit the enemy at a certain depth and despite all the fake targets of tanks and vehicles, Hezbollah hit a specific target.”
“Despite all the preparations and fake targets the enemy as scattered along the border, we waited for our target and when it came, we hit it, without any doubt,” he added, calling all people to watch the operation’s video.
In parallel, Hezbollah Secretary General went on to say: “The most important achievement that happened yesterday is the operation in itself. The greatest thing in the operation is that was completed and carried out as over the course of 7 days every “Israeli” official came out to threaten us. What happened is a reflection of boldness, bravery, precision and responsibility.”
““Israel”, which responds to every grenade or action, did everything it could to contain the incident, and most of the fire it directed was defensive targets,” he stressed.
Recalling “Israeli” aggressions on Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah said: “In the past, when he the “Israeli” used to assault us, we responded within the Shebaa Farms and the ambushes were in occupied Lebanese territory.”
“For dozens of years, infringing on the borders of 1948 has been one of the biggest red lines for the enemy,” he added, pointing out that “what happened in the operation is that the most important “Israeli” red line in decades was crossed by the resistance.”
“In the past, [“Israel”] would not tolerate anyone putting a hand on the fence, sending something like a drone back and forth quickly, shooting in the air or throwing a bomb into an open area,” His Eminence stated, pointing that the apartheid “Israeli” entity It would respond harshly because for it that was a red line.”
Sending a sounding message to the “Israeli”, Sayyed Nasrallah threatened: “It is no longer a red line. That has ended. There are no more red lines.”
“We fixed the equation and if Netanyahu sought to change the rules of engagement, we told him that there will be no red lines,” he added, urging the “Israelis” to keep in mind his warnings: “If you attack us, your borders, soldiers and settlements — including those on the border and those deep inside will be threatened and targeted.”
Moreover, His Eminence addressed the “Israelis” by saying: “If there is any aggression against Lebanon, there will be no such thing as international borders. The move that the resistance pulled off yesterday will be pulled off at any time in the future in a greater, larger and more important way.”
“From 1 September 2019, there is a new situation to defend Lebanon’s security and people. There are no red lines,” he declared.
Concerning the response to “Israeli” explosive drones that hit Dahyia, Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized “Enough. The Lebanese have the right to defend themselves, and we will defend. There is now a new operational space and it is Lebanon’s skies. When it comes to dealing with the drones, it will happen. I won’t specify when and how, but it will come.”
“The issue of confronting the “Israeli” drones in the skies of Lebanon is firm and in the hands of the field,” he concluded advising all who are concerned to talk to the “Israeli” that the era of violations has ended.
