Nasrallah Advises Israel to Dismantle Nuclear Reactor, Says Hizbullah Power, Aoun Stance Preventing War
2017-02-17
[An Nahar] Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
on Thursday called on Israel to "dismantle the Dimona nuclear reactor," warning that it poses a threat to Israel's existence if hit by Hizbullah's missiles in any confrontation.

"Israel is continuing to launch threats against Leb and speak of the third Leb war and of what it will do during this third war... This intimidation is not new and it seems that there is a permanent Israeli objective to pressure the resistance community in Leb, and after (Donald) Trump was elected U.S. president, this intimidation has returned," said Nasrallah in a televised speech commemorating Hizbullah's slain leaders.

"We've been hearing these threats since the end of the July 2006 war. Every other day we hear statements about the third Leb war and about the coming vengeance. The new threats are based on the election of Trump, but the policy of the new American administration in the region is not clear," Nasrallah added.

"Trump's election does not scare us, even if claims that he will give (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu the green light to wage a war on Leb turn out to be true, seeing as the issue of war on Leb is not hinging on the American permission," Hizbullah's chief noted.

He also noted that the alleged "Arab cover" that "allowed Israel to attack Leb in 2006 is also still present."

"The issue is not about the U.S. permission or the Arab cover but rather whether or not they will be able to achieve a victory. This is the main question," Nasrallah pointed out.

He however reassured the Lebanese public opinion that "the strength and firmness of the resistance and President Michel Aoun
...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
's unwavering stance will deter Israel from waging any war."

Commenting on an Israeli court's order that an ammonia container in the northern city of Haifa be emptied of its toxic content, Nasrallah also advised Israel to "dismantle the Dimona nuclear reactor," warning that it poses a threat to Israel's very existence if hit by his group's missiles.

#3  I had to laugh g(r)omgoru. Yes Israel probability strengthened the reactor dome, and not much damage, if any will occur. However, Hizbullah would still be in a world of hurt!

#2  If Hizbullah missile hits the reactor, the external maintenance people will be very upset - they'll have to climb on the dome, fill in the scratches, maybe even paint.

#1  If a Hizbullah missile hit the reactor, It's a pretty good bet that would be the end of Hizbullah period! (And probably most of Lebanon as well. Perhaps along with a large chunk of southern Syria.)
