Part of the speech of the leader of Hezbollah at the moment:
"On tuesday, the Israeli enemy targeted thousands of pager devices simultaneously, and they did not care about ethics, morals or any other values;
It crossed all lines, some of those who carried the pagers were nurses, doctors and pharmacists.
If they want to target us, target the fighters of Hezbollah; do not be cowards and involve our civilians.
Yesterday, the Israeli enemy targeted radios, which caused tens of deaths, including women, children and civilians.
The enemy knew that these pagers were not just present in the military units, but also in the different departments – they deliberately tried to kill 4000 humans within a single minute.
All together, combining Tuesday and Wednesday, the Israeli enemy tried to kill 5000 people.
This act was a terrorist act, a massacre – this is another massacre added to the list of this despicable enemy and cancerous tumor.
This action can be considered an act of war.
There is no doubt that we were subject to a big strike, both in terms of security and humanitarian, and this level of aggression was unprecedented in the history of Lebanon.
Yes, we have received a painful blow, but this is the reality of war – we have always admitted that the enemy has a technological advantage over us.
Some days are in our favor, and some days are in our enemy's favor; this week's events were a major test, which we will overcome with the help of God and our heads raised high.
No matter how strong or unprecedented the strike is, the enemy will never force us to the ground, our resistance will only become more determined.
Some desperate people, from day one, have claimed that Hezbollah has made no difference on the battlefield; rather you should listen to what the enemy says about this matter.
While some people talk shit about us, the enemy itself openly admits that we have accomplished strategic and tactical victories, and that we have affected the occupying entity to an unprecedented extent, and this is a battle of attrition.
The Lebanese front is one of the most important negotiation cards that Hamas holds against Israel.
For 11 months Israel has threatened us with a full-scale war, to try to stop our support front; we will never stop supporting Gaza.
If we stop our operations now, which the enemy insists upon, then everything we did in the past year would go to waste – they will never be able to seperate the Lebanese front from the Palestinian front – this is our religious and humanitarian duty.
We say to the enemy, and to Gallant who was about to be fired; we will NEVER stop our war against Israel until they stop the war on Gaza.
I repeat again, no matter what circumstances, no matter what sacrifices, we will never give up our duty.
They tried to force us into submission, but they never will.
Our command structure and operational readiness has not been affected.
This stupid, idiotic IDF Commander of the North wants to enter Lebanon to create a 'security zone' in the South – In fact, we HOPE Israel enters Lebanon, we are waiting for their tanks day and night, we say "welcome!"
