Hezbollah’s Nasrallah threatens to kill ‘thousands of Israelis’ if attacked
Hezbollah’s Nasrallah threatens to kill ‘thousands of Israelis’ if attacked.
Friday, 17 August 2012
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned on Friday that his Lebanese Shiite militia would make lives of Israelis “a living hell” if it is attacked, threatening to kill tens of thousands of Israelis by striking specific targets in Israel with what it described as precision-guided rockets.
“There are targets in occupied Palestine (Israel) which could be targeted by a small number of missiles,” Nasrallah said.
“If we are forced to use them to protect our people and our country, we will not hesitate to do so… and that will turn the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zionists into a living hell,” he said in a speech marking Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day.
Nasrallah warned of “tens of thousands of deaths, and not just 300 to 500 dead,” adding that Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran and Syria, had fixed its targets.
Israel, the only Middle East country outside the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), has never confirmed or denied having nuclear weapons.
“Hitting these targets with a small number of rockets will turn … the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zionists to real hell, and we can talk about tens of thousands of dead,” said Nasrallah.
Nasrallah was speaking on the occasion of Jerusalem Day, marked each year on the last Friday of Ramadan in accordance with a tradition established by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the late supreme leader of Iran.
In case of any Israeli attack on Iran over its controversial nuclear program, “the response will be enormous,” he warned. Any such action would present the Islamic republic with “the opportunity is has been dreaming of” since it was founded in 1979.
Israel and Lebanon are officially in a state of war, and the Jewish state fought a devastating war with Hezbollah in the summer of 2006.
Last month, Israel accused Iran and Hezbollah of planning attacks in “over 20 countries” in remarks just days after a deadly attack in Bulgaria that killed five Israeli tourists and their local bus driver.
Iran denied the charges but Hezbollah refused to comment.
Hezbollah follows the example of its backer in marking Quds Day, a show of support for the Palestinians over the disputed holy city of Jerusalem.
“I tell the Israelis that you have a number of targets, not a large number … that can be hit with precision rockets … which we have,” Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said in a broadcast speech.
He said he would not name the targets and did not say whether the rockets were newly acquired weapons.
Nasrallah said his group could strike a limited number of targets in Israel which if hit would lead to mass casualties – a possible reference to Israeli nuclear facilities, though he said he did not spell out what he meant.

If this guys operation could do what he is claiming, they would not wait tell Israel attacked Iran to do it. They would have already done it. If they do have that capability and have not used it, it is not because he has a kind heart. Something has kept them in check. I would guess it would have something to do with the IDF.
To me this sounds like a big game of ‘hold me back.”

You are right, Ari. Israel has all the capacities described in that ”document”-story. But if the americans would do the job, it would be incomparable much better.
However, as the former commander of the IAF said, Israel will get hit with missiles no matter who is attacking Iran.
From the israeli point of view, the situation in which Iran become nuclear is unbearable.
So, something must be done. And, if the USA won’t do the job, then IDF will do it.
Its true that a very big game like ” hold me back ” was played, but now this game is over.

Mr Nasrallah is not only in the crosshairs of the IDF but as well of the God of Israel ( the one and only God ).
Therefore Mr Nasrallah should either hide very, very deep underground or stop his pathlogical jew – hatred.
Anyway its Israels enemies, not Israel we have to worry about mainly ( look at the pharaoh, look at Nazi Germany, look at Syria now, etc ). By experience I can confirm today that its true that ” He who blesses Israel will be blessed – he who curses Israel will be cursed!” Therefore I will bless Israel as long as I live !
