Nasrallah: Uncertainty over timing of retaliation part of Israel’s ‘punishment’

Gianluca Pacchiani is the Arab affairs reporter for The Times of Israel

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah calls on members of the Iran-backed “axis of resistance” in Iraq and Yemen to keep supporting Gaza despite the “difficulties and the sacrifices,” while urging other Arab countries to “wake up to the danger that threatens the region.”

“The Israeli danger cannot be faced by burying our heads in the sand, because the enemy has no red lines,” he says.

Iran has also been forced to join the battle after the assassination of Hamas leader in Tehran, Nasrallah maintains.

The uncertainty regarding the date of its response constitutes “part of the punishment” for Israel, he adds.

Nasrallah also addresses Hezbollah’s opponents inside Lebanon, asking that they not “betray the resistance or participate in the psychological warfare against us.”
