Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warns of ‘war without rules’ if Israel launches full scale invasion against Lebanese militia
Nasrallah spoke at a memorial for Taleb Sami Abdallah, the most senior Hezbollah commander to be killed by Israel since cross border exchanges began on 8 October.Nasrallah spoke at a memorial for Taleb Sami Abdallah, the most senior Hezbollah commander to be killed by Israel since cross border exchanges began on 8 October.
Nasrallah’s televised speech underlined the difficulty of diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict between the two sides as it has edged into ever more dangerous territory. “Whatever our intentions,” he continued, “whether we want all out war or not, the enemy is obliged to remain ready in the north of the country,” adding that Israeli threats had “no impact” on Hezbollah’s calculations.
On the Israeli side of the Blue Line, which divides Israel and Lebanon, Hezbollah said it had fired rockets at an army base near the town of Kiryat Shmona on Wednesday afternoon, setting several fires. Meanwhile, satellite images and data collected by regional officials in southern Lebanon suggest widespread and growing devastation from the conflict which has seen 1,700 houses completely destroyed and 14,000 suffering partial damage.
With the Israeli offensive in Gaza now in its ninth month, international criticism has grown steadily over the US’s support for Israel’s air and ground attacks.
