Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah says Israelis are too scared to engage Hezbollah in a large-scale military conflict knowing the damage and loss of life the Lebanese terror group will cause.
“Any Israeli war on Lebanon would be an uncalculated adventure,” he says in an interview with al-Manar TV. “The cost is very important for Israel regarding the casualties and the psychological and economic repercussions. Through its readiness, expertise, military skills and stance, the resistance has made the Israelis realize that any war on Lebanon will be very costly and that they must balance between feasibility and cost.”
Nasrallah says that Hezbollah is able to “exploit” Israel’s value for life in order to build up vast military stockpiles without the threat of an attack.
“The Israelis know that the resistance possesses effective missiles that can hit any point in occupied Palestine. We have a full list of targets in occupied Palestine, including nuclear reactors and biological research centers. We will not abide by any restrictions or red lines in the event of any war against Lebanon,” he warns.
