Following the murder of Hamas deputy chairman Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has sent a strong warning to Israel and the US.
Nasrallah threatened to respond to the “crime” that put all of Lebanon in jeopardy, saying that Hezbollah would not stand by and would take action, according to Al Jazeera.
He also said that Hezbollah’s ongoing operations along the southern border with Israel presented a “historic opportunity” for Lebanon to reclaim its land occupied by Israel. He urged the Lebanese people to support the resistance and not to fall for the “lies and deception” of the US and its allies.
Nasrallah also expressed his solidarity with the Islamic resistance in Iraq, which he said had a “historic opportunity” to end the US presence in their country. He praised the Iraqi fighters for their courage and sacrifice and warned the US not to underestimate their capabilities.
He said that Israel and the US were the common enemies of Lebanon and Iraq and that they were plotting to sow division and chaos in the region. He called for unity and cooperation among the resistance forces and the people of both countries to confront the “evil schemes” of the aggressors.
