Nasrallah emphasizes war readiness


Press TV

"Secretary General of Hezbollah, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Thursday that if the Israeli military steps into Lebanon it will be destroyed.

Delivering a speech from the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, he said that Ramadan boosts the determination of the faithful and this is of importance in Lebanon.

He said that today the resistance in Lebanon is an example of what faith can achieve and an expression of determination.

Hezbollah's chief noted that the war is not over and "we are still in the midst of a battle. In the past few weeks we have heard a lot of threats from the enemy. It threatened to strike us, hit us and crush us. It threatened to destroy the people and the state of Lebanon."

Nasrallah said that "Israel knows that it has lost its veneer of naval and air invincibility in the previous war and Ehud Barak has said that the only way to defeat Lebanon is by ground forces, and for this he has proposed five land military contingencies."

He added that such talk by Barak is psychological warfare but if these military plans do manifest in Lebanon they will be destroyed "in Lebanon's valleys, roads and in any place they come into Lebanon."....."
