Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah addressed the nation in a televised speech following a recent exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel. The attack was a response to Israel’s assassination of senior military commander Fuad Shukr. Nasrallah emphasized that Hezbollah aimed to avoid a large-scale military escalation with Israel and had successfully targeted Israeli military and intelligence sites in the attack.
The main focus of the attack was the Glilot base in Tel Aviv, housing the Mossad and Unit 8200. Nasrallah blamed Israeli intelligence for previous assassinations of Hezbollah commanders. He refuted Israeli claims that they had prevented the attack and emphasized that civilian areas were avoided in the strike.
Nasrallah explained that the attack had been delayed to allow for Gaza ceasefire talks and to prepare for the Israeli and US response. He also addressed the fear and tension in Lebanon following the recent events. Nasrallah’s speech aimed to challenge the Israeli narrative and reassure the Lebanese people that the country was safe.
The speech highlighted Hezbollah’s strategic planning and restraint in targeting military sites while avoiding civilian casualties. Nasrallah’s message to Israel was clear – the retaliation was over, and it was aimed at restoring deterrence. The coming days will show whether the attack will hold Israel back and prevent further escalation.
