Hezbollah: Israel stuck in failure, We ready for any war

ISNA - Iranian Students' News Agency

Mon / 15 January 2024 / 11:47

Israel is stuck in "failure" and in "a deep hole" it has dug in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said.

Tehran (ISNA) - Speaking at the one-week anniversary of the martyrdom of Resistance leader and martyr Wissam Tawil (Hajj Jawad), on Sunday, Sayyed Nasrallah hailed the Resistance of Gaza and its people, calling their steadfastness "legendary".

"For one hundred days, Gaza and its people continue to steadfastly resist, in a legendary manner [that history has not witnessed]," the Lebanese Resistance leader confirmed.

Pointing to the role the Palestinian Resistance's Military Media had to play in archiving and publicizing the events, resistance operations, and battles in Gaza, Sayyed Nasrallah said, "Gaza's Resistance has creatively responded to the aggression, and the Military Media has had a major role in revealing its heroism in contrast to Israeli secrecy [on developments]."

"Israel is mired in failure and stuck in a deep hole it has dug in the Gaza Strip, as its analysts confirm, and it has not achieved any victory or even an 'image' of victory," the Secretary-General of Hezbollah explained, highlighting Israel's military failures in the Gaza Strip.

The enemy, according to Sayyed Nasrallah, is still fighting to achieve some sort of "achievement" before moving to the third phase of the war in which it will reposition its deployed forces.

100 days of legendary Resistance and mounting Israeli losses

Reflecting on the mounting Israeli losses, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that this point is further confusing the occupation, especially considering the reports revealed by Israeli media regarding the presence of "4,000 disabled soldiers in its military ranks in [only] 100 days, a number that may rise and reach 30,000."

When the war stops, the enemy will have to deal with the catastrophe that befell it as a result of the Resistance in Gaza and other supporting fronts, the Lebanese Resistance leader stressed.

"The occupation's human losses are accumulating in [Gaza, the West Bank, and the Lebanese-Palestinian border], in addition to the economic losses and the cost of displacement," he said.

In this context, Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that "any hope of forcefully retrieving Israeli captives from the Palestinian Resistance has been laid to rest."

On inner Israeli dynamics and politics, the Lebanese Resistance leader said the Israeli public has become confident that "their government is incompetent and must be replaced and so does their President," which, according to Sayyed Nasrallah, is "a clear admission of failure."

Commenting on Israel's prosecution in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), after South Africa filed a lawsuit condemning the occupation of genocide, Sayyed Nasrallah said Israel's real face has been exposed to the world, as revealed in the Hague earlier.

Effective support of the Axis of Resistance

Addressing the developments across the multiple fronts supporting the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah's Secretary-General said if the current failures mount for the Israeli occupation in the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, paired with losses incurred in Gaza, the Israeli occupation's government will be forced to accept the conditions set by the Resistance for a ceasefire.

"The Americans and many Western countries worked over a period of one hundred days to silence, subjugate, and thwart the other fronts," Sayyed Nasrallah revealed, as he highlighted the integral role that the US has played in prolonging the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Turbelant Red Sea

Sayyed Nasrallah then delved into the details of the major events that have occurred on specific fronts in the region.

On Yemen and the Red Sea, the Lebanese Resistance leader spoke of "American and British foolishness" as well as contradictory American policy and actions, in relation to the recent US-UK-led aggression on several Governates in Yemen.

In fact, the Resistance leader said the aggression by the US would only harm the security of international maritime navigation, as the attack would turn the Red Sea into a battlefield.

Hezbollah undeterred by US threats; ready for war

Sayyed Nasrallah further emphasized that the threat of war should be a concern for Israel, not Lebanon. He stressed that the Resistance has been ready for any war imposed on Lebanon for the past 99 days.

"We have been ready for war for (the past) 99 days and we are not afraid of it. We will fight without restrictions or boundaries [if war is imposed on us]," the Resistance leader concluded.
