Hezbollah leader: Israel continuing aggression at U.S.' behest

Nasrallah threatens to fire missiles at central Israel

By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent and News Agencies

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday vowed to fire rockets on communities in central Israel if the military operation in Lebanon continued, and accused Israel of being an American "slave."

"The bombardment of Afula and its military base is the beginning ... Many cities in the center [of Israel] will be targeted in the 'beyond Haifa' phase if the savage aggression continues on our country, people and villages," Nasrallah said in a speech aired on Hezbollah's Al-Manar television.

"The Israelis are ready to halt the aggression because they are afraid of the unknown. The one pushing for the continuation of the aggression is the U.S. administration. Israel has been exposed as a slave of the U.S.," he said.

"There are developments on the diplomatic front, and attempts to end the crisis, thanks to our strong position. The enemy attained no military achievements. They admit this," Nasrallah said, claiming that Israel suffered a "serious defeat" in ground fighting around Bint Jbial. Nasrallah said U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice aimed to impose conditions on Lebanon and to serve Israeli interests during her diplomatic mission to the region.

"Now Ms. Rice is returning to the region to try and impose her conditions again on Lebanon to serve her project, the new Middle East and to serve Israel," he said.

Excerpt of Nasrallah

"We are keen to cooperate with the government," Nasrallah said. But "for Lebanon to win the battle, it needs political will no less than the will of the resistance fighters in the field ... The government is required to act in a way that reflects the Lebanese people's steadfastness and unity," he said.

"We have a historic opportunity in Lebanon to liberate every inch of our land, regain of our prisoners and guarantee our national sovereignty, so that our skies, water, land and our people are no longer subject to Zionist violation and aggression," he said.

You started it Nasrallah!

Quit crying when you're getting you ass kicked!

He's counting on holding out until November, expecting U.S. dhimmocrats to win control of some area of government.

[Eddie01]

Who kidnapped butchered and buried a student?

Who is responsible for such unprovoked terrorist attacks against a sovereign Israel over the years?

These folks must be wiped from the face of the planet.

It's time for Al Manar to get a couple of 2,000 lb love taps from the IAF.

GET ON MESSAGE DUDE! - Over here they say it is the Neo-Con Zionist running the US at the behest of Israel. You radical Islamist need to get together with your leftist western peacenik supporters and get some continuity back in your message.

Hezbollah leader: Israel continuing aggression at U.S.' behest

Dear Hezbollah,

Please get your story straight. Israel can't be pulling our strings, if we're pulling theirs.

[coconutt2000]

ya beat me to it.

I seem to recall that Lebanon had a government and a prime minister or some such arrangement. Now this Nasarallah person, him I know! I hear about him 20 times an hour. If I did not know any better I would think he is the prime minister of Lebannon.

Tell that freak Nasrallar to strap on a suicide vest and bring his a$$ to Israel. Of course the coward will only send others to die while he sits on his butt out of harms way (but not too far).

"Quit crying when you're getting you ass kicked!"

frankly, this whole thing seems to be the "perfect storm", IMVHO...:|

anything that can be perceived as anything less than a decisive WIN for Israel will come back to bite us all in the...

"Now Ms. Rice is returning to the region to try and impose her conditions again on Lebanon to serve her project, the new Middle East and to serve Israel," he said.

Apparently he didn't get the memo.

"Nasrallah threatens to fire missiles at central Israel"

He's been threatening that for weeks.
So far he's fired a few of them particular missiles from one launcher, which was promptly taken out by the Israelis.
Those missiles fell harmlessly into the bush.

Israel is not actually winning right now. The Lebanese people are fully behind them now, they have twice the support they did before.

They have killed jews and that makes Muslims very very happy.

"Hezbollah leader: Israel continuing aggression at U.S.' behest"

He's right about that! Most of the people (us) who support the destruction of Hezbollah and all terrorists are here in America (if not even more in India) and are not Jewish. It's good that it took the terrorists so long to figure that out. Their erroneous focus and their other vanities lead to their worldwide defeat.

al-Queda's take? The US is encouraging Israel to keep it up, so as to deflect attention away from jihadi victory in Iraq

[piasa]

The people of Lebanon are not behind Hezbollah.

[GeronL]

Fox News and others have said that new polls show 80+% of Lebanese are now in support of the attacks by Hez-Ebola against Israel.
