Nasrallah: Hezbollah ready to fight


Al-Jazeera

"The secretary-general of Hezbollah has said that his movement is ready for open warfare with Israel, in a speech to supporters mourning the death of a senior commander.

Accusing Israel of killing Imad Moghniyeh in a car bomb blast in the Syrian capital late on Tuesday, Hassan Nasrallah said on Thursday that it had "crossed the borders".

"With this murder, its timing, location and method - Zionists [Israel] if you want this kind of open war, let the whole world listen: Let this war be open," he said.

He also said that Hezbollah fighters had started preparing for the next war immediately after the end of the 2006 war with Israel......

"The July war is still continuing - until now, no ceasefire has been proclaimed. This war is continuing at the political level, at the media level, at the financial and material level, at the security level," he said.

"It is supported by the same countries that supported Israel in the July war. This is why [Moghniyeh] was assassinated."

Nasrallah said that the death of Moghniyeh would only strengthen the resistance against Israel.

"Mughniyeh's blood will lead to the elimination of Israel. These words are not an emotional reaction," he said......."
