Speaking amid a second consecutive day’s wave of explosive attacks detonating Hezbollah communications devices, Hashem Safieddine, head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, publicly threatens unique and bloody vengeance.
Hezbollah has blamed the attacks on Israel, which is maintaining an official silence.
A cousin and close associate of the terror group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, Safieddine vows: “These attacks will certainly be uniquely punished; there will be a bloodily unique revenge.”
He says he “won’t talk about this at length” because “tomorrow, the leader of Hezbollah will speak and all will be revealed. And we will be in a new situation and a new confrontation with this enemy.”
The enemy, he says, “should know that we are not beaten, that we will not break, that will not withdraw, and will not be influenced by what this enemy is doing.”
