NNA - Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said clear on Wednesday: The devices massacres that killed or injured thousands in Lebanon will be met with a difficult reckoning and won’t force the Lebanese resistance group from assuming its religious and moral duty of supporting the oppressed people of Gaza and Palestine.

In an awaited speech after the pager and wireless device blasts in Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that such attacks aimed at pressing Hezbollah to stop its pro-Gaza strikes against the Israeli enemy.

However, he stressed, “in the name of the martyrs, the wounded and those who lost their eyes along with their families,” that the Lebanese support front will remain unwavering until the aggression against Gaza stops.

The Hezbollah chief, meanwhile, didn’t set temporal boundaries to the group’s retaliation for Tuesday and Wednesday’s attacks, stressing that “a difficult reckoning awaits the Israeli enemy.”

“Regarding the difficult reckoning, the news (response) is what you will see, not what you hear about, because we are in the most delicate, sensitive and profound phase of the confrontation.”

Responding to Israeli threats of establishing a so-called security zone in south Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah affirmed that any Israeli incursion into the Lebanese territory is a wish and a historic opportunity for Hezbollah.

As he extended congratulations and warmest condolences to the families of martyrs who fell in the past two day in pager and wireless device attacks, Sayyed Nasrallah lauded the national unity in face of the Israeli aggression and thanked the Lebanese government and the entire health sector in Lebanon.

His eminence also thanked countries who offered and provided support to the Lebanese government.

The Hezbollah S.G. stressed that the Israeli enemy crossed the red lines on Tuesday as it detonated thousands of pager devices simultaneously.

“The enemy used a civilian tool used by large segments of society and did so again on Wednesday by blowing up wireless devices.”

He said that the “enemy assumed that the number of pagers surpasses 4000, and thus it was intending to deliberately kill 4,000 people in one minute.”

“The enemy intended to kill thousands on the second day, as well, meaning that throughout two days the Israeli enemy wanted to kill no less than 5,000 people in few minutes,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.

“What happened is a genocide and a major massacre, to be added to the horrible massacres committed by the enemy since the creation of this cancerous tumor in our region. It can be called a declaration of war or anything else.”

Investigation Follow-up

The Hezbollah chief said, however that the goals of the Israeli enemy’s attacks were disrupted “thanks to Allah’s kindness and to the sincere stance of the honorable people.”

Meanwhile, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the resistance group formed technical and security committees to investigate the latest attacks.

“Hypotheses are being studied and we have reached a near conclusion,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.

“This file is under investigation and close follow-up, whether regarding the manufacturer, transporter, distributor and customs” involved with the rigged pagers, his eminence added.

Sayyed Nasrallah acknowledged that the attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday are major blow, but stressed that Hezbollah organizational structure wasn’t harmed.

“There is no doubt that we have been exposed to a major and unprecedented blow on the security and humanitarian levels. This is the case in the war, and we know that our enemy has superiority on the technological level because it’s backed by the West.”

“Tuesday and Wednesday were bloody days, but we will be able to overcome this ordeal and this blow won’t bring us down,” his eminence affirmed. — Source: AFP (edited by Al-Manar English Website staff)
