As the world awaits an Iranian retaliation strike against Israel, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah warned Tuesday of 'strong and effective' attacks on Israel.
The leader of the Lebanese militant group spoke on national television earlier Tuesday at the one-week memorial of Fuad Shukr, the group's top military commander, who was killed in Israeli air strikes in Beirut.
Iran "finds itself obliged to respond, and the enemy is waiting in a great state of dread," Nasrallah said, adding that Hezbollah will respond "alone or in the context of a unified response from all the axis" of Iran-backed proxy groups "whatever the consequences."
He added that "Israel is no longer as strong it was in the past and neither are its defensive capabilities. Israel is asking for help from the US, from the West, from Europe and from Arab regimes - this is evidence of Israel's decline in prestige. The command and control centers, Iron Dome, 'David's Sling,' and the Israeli and US satellites are on high alert – while today a missile fell east of Acre."Nasrallah also said the militant group will be targeting new Israeli high-value asset targets much deeper in the country than ever before.
