Hezbollah's Nasrallah Vows Relentless Response to Israeli Aggression
Threatens to Target All of Israel in Case of War
Warns Cyprus Against Cooperating with Israel
In a defiant speech on Wednesday, the leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, declared that the group would fight without limits if Israel launched an attack. He also threatened that no part of Israel would be safe in the event of a full-fledged conflict.
Nasrallah's remarks came amid escalating tensions between Hezbollah and Israel, which have traded threats and accusations in recent weeks. Israel has long accused Hezbollah of stockpiling weapons and planning attacks, while Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate for any Israeli aggression.
In his speech, Nasrallah also warned Cyprus against allowing Israel to use its territory for military operations. He said that such a move would be considered an act of aggression against Lebanon and would be met with an appropriate response.
Nasrallah's threats come as Cyprus and Israel are reportedly in talks to deepen their military cooperation. The two countries signed a security cooperation agreement in 2018, and Israel has been keen to expand its presence in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The escalating tensions between Hezbollah and Israel have raised concerns about the potential for a wider conflict in the region. The two sides fought a 34-day war in 2006, and any new conflict could have devastating consequences.
