Sayyed Nasrallah: We can strike any spot in 'Israel'
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday that Hezbollah's missiles can reach any spot in occupied Palestine. In an interview with al-Jazeera TV Channel to be aired on Monday and Tuesday, Sayyed Nasrallah said, "In July and August (2006), there was no place in occupied Palestine which was out of the reach of the resistance missiles. Tel Aviv or elsewhere, we were certain that we could reach any corner or spot in occupied Palestine and now we are certain that we can reach them." "When the confrontation first took place, we were assuming that is was a normal retaliation to the capturing of the Israeli soldiers, but at night, when the Israeli government took its decision, we declared general alert and every human and material capability available to Hezbollah was put at the disposal of the battle. When the 48 hour truce agreement that took place in Beirut, we did not fire rocket, but when the truce ended, we fire 4000 rockets in a very short time. The Israelis could not grasp the resistance's level of control and management and wondered saying: was Hezbollah really capable of controlling all its forces in the south and the Western Bekaa for 48 hours?
Sayyed Nasrallah touched on the targeting and destruction of the Israeli warship "Sa'ar 5" on the second day of the aggression. He said that the decision that was taken on that day was to use this particular weapon, which was part of Hezbollah's secret weapons which the Israelis knew nothing about. His eminence stressed those who carried out the attack were Lebanese engineers in the Islamic Resistance. "We took the decision and the fighters were ready and so were their weapons. The crew that fired the rocket was also ready and they all headed to a certain point on the shore line facing the Israeli battleship and then they gave us a signal that they had the warship in firing range. I consider this as one of the many triumphs, that a Lebanese experienced crew fires for the first time at a battleship under the hard circumstances of the war, and hit it with the very first rocket. This is unusual in all military schools. There are two trends who explained this, one that says that it was an outcry and the other says that there had been some kind of care, as Almighty Allah says in the holy Koran, (So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote.)"
On the possibility that Syria the war Sayyed Nasrallah said that keeping the war within Lebanon meant that it would be kept under control, and an expansion of the war in the region would have been unlimited with unknown consequences. "What I certainly know is that Syria informed Israel through mediators that in case of a ground advance in the Arqoub region towards Hasbayya – Rashayya near the eastern mountain chain, constitutes a security threat to Damascus, adding that Syria will take action and join the battle to defend itself."
Hezbollah's Secretary General said that the Islamic Resistance's capability to hit all targets in northern occupied Palestine, Haifa and what's after Haifa, and the continuation of this capability until the very last day of the war, constitutes a major power factor for Hezbollah. He signaled that the Israeli air force had failed to prevent resistance fighters from launching rockets until the last day of the war. "When we said that we would target Tel Aviv should Beirut be bombed, we were serious about it. Of course it was Tel Aviv and even what's after Tel Aviv. During the war, there was no place in occupied Palestine out of the range of our missile, Tel Aviv and other that Tel Aviv."
Oh, c'mon. Anywhere in Israel? Naw I don't think so.
I enjoyed every moment of the interview. Sayyed Hassan looked good. He was relaxed and confident... As usual, he couldn’t resist a mocking remark about Olmert's low intellectual capacity… lol…
Too bad that Americans don’t get good and full translations of interviews or speeches by a man like Nasrallah. It's amazing how Zionist media is so quick to translate 'video messages' from "Al Qaeda" from Arabic to English, but is no where to be seen when a major figure like Nasrallah speaks for a solid hour after several weeks of total silence amidst a Zionist-American generated major conflict in which the United States is the key figure. For those at WUFYS who are really fighting Israel and Zionism, too bad that you don’t speak Arabic because you would have just LOVED Nasrallah! It is such a pleasure to see how he drives Israelis up the wall:)
All of the hullabaloo about Lebanon now is because of Nasrallah and Hezbollah… and their commitment to liberating Lebanese and Palestinian occupied lands FROM ILLEGAL ISRAELI OCCUPATION.
Anything else is beside the point.
"So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote"
Oh I love it. So true. It is not God that creates evil, it is men/women. Humans create evil.
When a human attacks evil and defends the weak, God is working through that human. Or, the human is close or with God. Someone like Nasrallah.
When a human creates and commits evil, this human is far from God, removed from God. Someone like arik "the butcher" sharon.
Yes Hizbullah rockets can reach any part of Israel, and they already did that during the Lebanon war if you were paying attention and not listening to Israeli propaganda.
Israeli military losses were 3 times as much as Hizbullahs and it cost the American taxpayer over $2 billion.
While the Israelis used terrorist methods against Lebanese civilians and civilian infrastructure, Hizbullah targetted Israeli military/industrial complex.
Nasrallah and Hezbollah have done one thing that has a greater effect than the range of any rocket - they have destroyed the myth of ziostan's invincibility both in ziostan and to the rest of the Arab world.
The occupation of Palestine and the way they treat the Palestinians, both Christian and Moslem, have proven that the ziostaniacs are nothing but genocidal land thieves who deserve the Judgement that is about to fall on them.
May God have mercy on those who practice mercy.
A HUGE difference between soldiers and cowards:
awakened "While the israelis used terrorist methods against Lebanese civilians and civilian infrastructure, Hizbullah targetted Israeli military/industrial complex."
Cowards fight the defenseless cuz it's so nice and easy. Cowards hide behind their Zionist media [an umbilical cord, if you will], this media protects them and nourishes their ugliness but lies to the world by omitting what these cowards actually do.
Now you have Hezbollah. Those soldiers fought the cowards, NOT the defenseless children and their mothers fleeing their homes. There was no such thing.
The cowards were afraid to leave their big bad tanks and apache jets and fight the real soldiers on the ground. Guess their boots weren't durable enough against that South Lebanon terrain.
America needs to know what Her 2 billion really paid for that summer of 2006: A bunch of cowards who can only fight the very young, the elderly, the handicapped, and the mothers.
