| Nasrallah: War with Israel not ended yet |
| 2008-08-15 |
| Hezbollah leader says the war with Israel has 'not ended yet' as Israel has not halted its 'aggressions' against Lebanon and the region. Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks as Lebanon marked the Hezbollah victory over Israel in the 33-day war. Hezbollah shattered the invincibility of the Israeli army in 2006 war. The aftershocks of the war are still reverberating in Israel. More than 100 Israeli soldiers were killed in the 33-day war. Nasrallah said it was a 'historic and divine victory' in Arab-Israeli conflict which shattered the invincibility of the Zionist regime's occupation army and changed the political face of the Middle East and 'foiled the US-Israeli New Middle East project' for breaking up regional countries. Israel killed more than 1000 Lebanese civilians by bombarding Lebanon. Nasrallah said the cluster bombs dropped on Lebanon are still taking the lives of innocent people. Lebanese Islamic resistance forced the Israeli army out of Southern Lebanon in 2000. Nasrallah said Hezbollah defeated Israel in 2000 and 2006 and put an end to 'political life' of Israeli regime. He said Israel is on the verge of collapse and therefore it is seeking conspiracies to 'disarm Lebanese resistance and isolate it.' Nasrallah slammed some Arab states who have been attempting to 'distort the image of Hezbollah,' saying some Arabs try to ensure Israel's superiority "because their stability is dependent on Israeli supremacy." The Hezbollah chief went on to say that the 'culture of resistance' is expanding as polls show 70% of Muslims support it. He added Hezbollah proved it is very strong as its fighters resisted the most powerful army in the Middle East for several weeks. |
