Against the backdrop of the alleged assassination of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri by Israel in Lebanon earlier this evening, a clip from an August speech given by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has resurfaced.
“Any assassination on Lebanese soil against a Lebanese Syrian, Iranian or Palestinian will be met with a decisive response. We will not tolerate this, and we will not allow Lebanon to become a new killing field for Israel.”
Nasrallah is slated to give a nationally televised address tomorrow.
