Raad says Hezbollah escalating to 'preserve deterrence equation'
 [An Nahar] The head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammad Raad, said Sunday that his group is "reassured" over the course of its conflict with Israel."The resistance is escalating its operations against the Israeli enemy to a certain level in order to preserve the deterrence equation," Raad said. Hezbollah is doing this "so that the enemy does not fantasize that it has become capable and prepared to pounce on Leb  ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...and achieve its illusions in it," the politician added. "Accordingly, we will emerge victorious when we thwart the enemy’s goals," Raad went on to say. "Endeavor to persevere!" Since October 8, the cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has killed at least 419 people in Lebanon, mostly Death Eaters but also including 82 civilians. Israel says 14 soldiers and 11 civilians have been killed on its side of the border. Posted by: Fred 2024-05-20 |
