During a speech on the occasion of the death of former Lebanese MP Mohamed Hassan Yaghi, the secretary general emphasized that there is a real opportunity to liberate every inch of the national soil and prevent Israel from violating the borders and airspace.
In this regard, Nasrallah stressed that the battle in southern Lebanon stabilized and strengthened the balance of the Resistance’s deterrence against Tel Aviv’s forces.
Commenting on these nearly three months of confrontation, the Hizbullah top figure confirmed more than 670 operations and 494 attacks, including actions on more than one occasion against 48 military sites and 50 bordering points. The leader of the Shiite movement pointed out that from the beginning the aim of opening the front in the south was to put pressure on the Tel Aviv government and stop the aggression against Gaza and reduce the burden on the Palestinian resistance.
Nasrallah pointed out that Hizbullah engaged in combat within a radius of more than 100 kilometers had destroyed technical and intelligence equipment, as well as a large number of Israeli military vehicles and tanks.
He said that since October 8, Israeli soldiers have fled from their locations to the settlements for fear of the advance of the Resistance fighters.
He indicated that the operations were very exhausting and debilitating for Israel, which kept extreme secrecy about its losses and recognizes neither the its deads nor the wounded soldiers.
Nasrallah clarified that the Resistance did not attack the settlers in the Israeli settlements, despite the fact that they are occupiers, and their displacement represents a pressure for the Zionist government.
On the occasion, the secretary general pointed out that the assassination of Hamas deputy leader Saleh Al-Arouri and his companions in the southern suburbs of Beirut ‘will definitely not go unanswered and unpunished, and the decision is on the battlefield’.
He also renewed his condolences for the martyrs of the terrorist attack in the Iranian city of Kerman and the crime of the Iraqi commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Mushtaq Taleb al-Saadi.
