In a recorded message, the new leader of Hezbollah, Naïm Qassem, threatened Israel by claiming to have men and missiles available to fight the Jewish state, France24 reported. “We have tens of thousands of trained resistance fighters who can take on” Israel “and hold on”. Hezbollah, whose leadership has been largely weakened since the end of September, notably with the death of Hassan Nasrallah announced on September 27, has assured that its men are repelling Israeli attacks in the border areas with Lebanon.
Shortly after Naïm Qassem’s speech, the Israeli army carried out a strike, after an evacuation order, on the southern suburbs of Beirut, where it killed Hassan Nasrallah. At the same time, missile warning sirens sounded in Tel Aviv, with the Israeli army recording 120 projectiles fired during the day. This Wednesday, the pro-Iranian terrorist movement claimed to have targeted a military base near Ben-Gurion airport, south of Tel Aviv. “Israel will scream (in pain) under missiles and drones, no place in the Israeli entity is inaccessible to our drones and missiles”warned the head of the Hezbollah formation.
