Hezbollah Chief Says Israel Pushed Resistance to Open Battle 'On All Fronts'

Nasrallah pledged that Hezbollah's response to Israel killing a top commander in Beirut 'will not be symbolic or a formality'

The Secretary General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, announced on 1 August that the Lebanese resistance is no longer just “a support front” in the fight against Israel and that the response to the assassination of top commander Fuad Shukr “is a foregone conclusion.”

“We are beyond the stage of being a ‘support front’; we are now in an open battle against the Israeli enemy, on all frontiers – we have entered a new stage,” Nasrallah said, stressing that operations during the next several days “are not a response to the martyrdom of Mr Fuad Shukr.”

“The enemy and those behind the enemy must await our inevitable response [to Shukr’s killing], no discussion or debate, and between us are the days, nights, and the battlefield,” the resistance leader added, calling the attack on Dahye “part of the US-Israeli war on our region” and stressing that “there will be no solution except to stop the aggression on Gaza.”

“The enemy does not know where our response will come from, whether from the north or south of Palestine, and whether it will be separate or simultaneous [with the rest of the Resistance Axis] … We will carry out a real, practical response – it will not be a symbolic response or a formality.”

“You (Israel) will cry a lot because you do not know which red lines you have crossed,” Nasrallah said during a televised speech delivered as part of the funeral proceedings for Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the southern suburbs of Beirut earlier this week.
