Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah considered on Sunday that Israel had “failed” to achieve its goals in Gaza, which would lead it to “negotiate” and stop the war, which has entered its 100th day, stressing that the escalation on the Lebanese border is linked to stopping the aggression against the Gaza Strip.
Nasrallah said in a televised speech, a week after the killing of the party’s military leader, Wissam al-Tawil, by Israeli targeting in southern Lebanon, “The enemy has accomplished nothing in a hundred days except killing… but it has not achieved any real victory. It has not achieved an image of victory. It has failed to achieve its goal.” Achieving declared, semi-declared and implicit goals.
He added, “In this battle, after a hundred days, it is not you and I who say the following. The Israelis, officials, military and political leaders (…) are that Israel, after a hundred days, is mired in failure.”
Since last October 7, Israel has been waging an ongoing war on the Gaza Strip, which to date has left about 24,000 martyrs, more than 60,000 wounded, massive destruction of infrastructure, vital facilities and hospitals, and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
Since the day after the war, the Lebanese-Israeli border has witnessed a daily exchange of bombing between Hezbollah and the Israeli army. Hezbollah announced that the Lebanon front is a front of “support and assistance” for Gaza.
At the same time, the Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) in Yemen launched missile and drone attacks targeting Eilat, south of Israel, and escalated their attacks to target ships they say are linked to Tel Aviv in the Red Sea. Iraqi factions are also adopting attacks against bases housing American forces in Syria and Iraq.
Nasrallah said, “If this path continues, whether in Gaza, the (West) Bank, or Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, it will reach a clear result, which is that the enemy government will find no other way but to accept the conditions of resistance in Gaza, and thus reach the point of declaring a cessation of aggression against.” Gaza and go to negotiation.”
Red Sea attacks
The Secretary-General of Hezbollah considered that the United States was wrong when it believed that the Yemeni Houthi group would stop confronting Israel in the Red Sea, adding that the American movements put all navigation in this region at risk.
The United States and Britain launched dozens of raids over the past two days on targets in Yemen that they said were affiliated with the Houthis, and the aim of these raids was to “weaken the group’s ability to launch attacks that threaten international navigation in the region.”
Since the start of the escalation in Lebanon, 190 people have been killed, including more than 140 Hezbollah members and more than twenty civilians, including three journalists, according to a tally by Agence France-Presse.
Hezbollah announces daily the targeting of Israeli military sites and points, while the Israeli army responds with air and artillery bombardment, which it says targets the party’s “infrastructure” and the movements of fighters near the border.
The Israeli army announced on Sunday that two Israelis were killed by a missile fired from Lebanon that struck a house in a population center near the border. He also confirmed that he killed three gunmen who tried to infiltrate across the border.
Ready for “war without controls”
Amid growing concern about the widening scope of the escalation, Western officials have recently visited Beirut urging restraint.
Nasrallah confirmed that the delegates of several Western countries “said and horrified that if you do not stop the war now, Israel wants to wage a war against Lebanon.”
He added, “Our position on this issue is very clear, which is that the Lebanon front aims to stop the aggression against Gaza,” explaining, “Let the aggression against Gaza stop, and then with regard to Lebanon, every recent incident will happen.”
Nasrallah said on Sunday, “We have been ready for war for 99 days, and we will accept it, and we will fight without a ceiling or controls if they are imposed on us.”
