Nasrallah: Clashes with Israel 'very dangerous'
The lying MoFo had to do something after the incompetent rocketry and the capture of his minions

...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
War, a day after Hezbollah fired about 20 rockets towards Israel and the IDF responded with 40 artillery shells towards open areas in southern Lebanon.

Nasrallah delivered the speech, announced days before the rocket fire, on the 15th anniversary of the Second Lebanon War.

The Hezbollah leader stated that the rockets fired by the terrorist group were in response to what he called the first direct Israeli raids on southern Lebanon in the past 15 years, adding that Hezbollah targeted open areas because Israel targeted open areas in its strikes in Lebanon.

Riiiiggghhhtttt

Nasrallah added that Hezbollah "intended by the process to reinforce the old rules of engagement, and did not mean to create new rules of engagement." Nasrallah warned that any new Israeli raid on Lebanon would be responded to "appropriately and proportionately."

Despite the worsening economic crisis in Lebanon, Nasrallah warned Israel against thinking that Hezbollah is preoccupied with Lebanon's internal situation. "For us, our responsibilities are clear, which is to protect our people," said Nasrallah.
"Let them eat couscous!"
The Hezbollah leader stressed that the "most important responsibility on everyone's shoulders" was to preserve the situation established by the Second Lebanon War and find a balance of deterrence and protective rules of engagement that "guarantee the security and safety of Lebanon."

Nasrallah stated that no Israeli airstrikes have hit a target in Lebanese territory since the Second Lebanon War, with the exception of what he called "minor violations" and an "ambiguous incident" between the Lebanese and Syrian borders. It is unclear which incident he was referring to.

"What prevented the enemy from launching raids was his fear of going into a major confrontation with the resistance," said Nasrallah. "The enemy today is more than ever worried about its existence because of what is happening in Palestine and the escalation of the [Iranian-backed] Axis of Resistance."

In August of last year, Israeli attack helicopters and fighter jets struck posts belonging to Hezbollah along the Lebanese border after IDF troops were fired upon near Kibbutz Menara in the Upper Galilee.

Nasrallah also referred to alleged Israeli airstrikes in Syria, saying that the airstrikes are meant to confront the "growing capabilities of the resistance," but stressed that these strikes did not achieve their goals.

Concerning a Hezbollah militant who was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike near Damascus last year, Nasrallah stated that the terrorist group had aimed to kill an Israeli soldier in retaliation, but "the circumstances did not exist for" this to occur.

Nasrallah warned that the rocket fire on Friday was only a response to the Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon and not a response for the death of the Hezbollah militant in Syria nor a response to the death of a Hezbollah militant who attempted to cross the border into Israel in protests during Operation Guardian of the Walls in May. He warned that the response for those deaths would occur at an appropriate time.

"Our response to the air raids may be anywhere in the north of occupied Palestine, whether it is in the Galilee or the Golan, and our options are open," warned Nasrallah. "The biggest folly the enemy will have committed is when he decides to go to war with Lebanon."

During the speech, Nasrallah also offered his condolences to the Hezbollah members killed in clashes with Sunni Arabs in Khaldeh in the past week. Despite the clashes and scuffles on Friday between Druze residents and the Hezbollah terrorists who fired the rockets, Nasrallah warned Israel not to "bet on internal division."

Concerning the incidents in Khaldeh, Nasrallah claimed that the murders were premeditated "massacre," and that Hezbollah's lack of retaliation was based on "wisdom and responsibility, not weakness." Nasrallah called for all the perpetrators of the murders to be arrested and stated that he is personally following up on the issue daily.

Druze residents of the Shwayya village near where the rockets were fired from detained the Hezbollah terrorists responsible for launching the rockets. Video reportedly from the scene, showed the residents fighting with the terrorists before forcing them into a car.

Nasrallah stated on Saturday night that the incident hurt him "very much" and was shameful and very bad, but that it was "well-known people" and not people from the village who attacked the Hezbollah terrorists, adding that Hezbollah would not hold the residents of the village nor the Druze community responsible and urging supporters not to attack Druze people.

"What happened in Shwayya was not something simple or fleeting, and it has serious connotations," said Nasrallah.

Nasrallah added that Hezbollah would have launched the missiles from their own homes if they could, but that in order to target Israeli areas without civilians in order to avoid an escalation they had to pass through the Druze villages.
