As Israel carries out its assault on the Gaza Strip, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah gives his first speech in public since the beginning of the conflict.
“This is a seamless battle at the human, ethical and religious levels. It’s the most evident, the most honest and the most noble," he said.
“Our true strength lies in our firm belief, unshaken conviction, our devotion and commitment to the cause.”
The Hezbollah chief also offered “condolences and congratulations” to the families of those killed in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, including those killed during Hamas’s al-Aqsa Flood operations inside Israel, which, he says, “has extended on a number of fighting fronts”.
"We thank the Iraqi, Yemeni hands that joined this battle. This decision to launch operation was 100% Palestinian, its owners hid it from everyone. Secrecy of this operation did not upset anyone in the resistance axis. This battle is completely Palestinian, for Palestinian people, and has no relation to any regional issue. October 7 attack led to an earthquake in Israel. Al-Aqsa storm revealed the weakness of Israel," he added.
