Hezbollah leader warns Israel that it will pay "in blood" for attacks on civilians in Lebanon

The leader of the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah party, Hasan Nasrallah, issued a strong warning to Israel, stating that they will pay the price “in blood” for the recent attacks that caused the death of eleven civilians. Nasrallah, making his first public appearance since the escalation of hostilities between Hezbollah and the Israeli army, condemned Israel’s deliberate targeting of civilians and labeled it a violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime. The Lebanese government has filed a complaint with the UN Security Council, demanding justice for the innocent lives lost.

The conflict between Hezbollah and Israel has led to thousands of displaced people on both sides of the border and resulted in numerous casualties. Nasrallah emphasized that while his organization seeks to maintain tension on the border as a form of protest against Israel’s offensive in Gaza, they do not desire an all-out war. He stressed the importance of pressuring Israel to deter further aggression, expressing solidarity with the Palestinians and emphasizing their determination to continue fighting.

In addition to addressing the situation in Lebanon, Nasrallah criticized the United States for its bombings in Yemen, accusing them of seeking to assist Israel in the region. He also voiced opposition to the idea of displacing Gazans to another country, warning against attempts to disrupt the Palestinian state. Regarding the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, Nasrallah stated that the decisions should be made by Hamas, emphasizing their sacrifice and the high price they pay in their struggle against Israel.
