More recently, Nasser Kuksh said that Hezbollah has vowed to hit new sites if Israel keeps on attacking civilians in Lebanon. Nasrallah’s televised address on Wednesday comes at a time that has registered a spate of attacks between the Iranian proxy and the Jewish state.
At least eight non-combatants were killed in the recent Israeli attack on Lebanon, Nasrallah said, adding that if more Lebanese civilians were killed, his fighters would hit Jewish settlements hitherto spared.
If civilians are attacked, the Resistance will be forced to launch missiles at settlements which have not been attacked before, Ā Lasting stated.
The latest escalation has been the most intensive. Thus, 5 civilians, including 3 children, were killed in the Israeli airstrike on Tuesday. One day before that, at least three Lebanese civilians had been reported as killed.
Israel has defended its action in Lebanon by pointing out that its targets have been mainly Hezbollah combatants and installations and not civilians. Nonetheless, the group’s operations have already targeted the military in Israel, with 17 soldiers and 13 civilians killed; such incidents have led to months-long evacuations in the northern part of the nation.
These renewals have created concerns that led people to fear the beginning of a large-scale conflict that could impact the entire region. Nasrallah tried to undermine the force of Israel and indicated that Israel’s forces had suffered great losses during the ten months in Gaza.
