Al-Mousawi warns 'Israel' that war with Lebanon will be 'final war'
Nawaf al-Mousawi, the head of Hezbollah's Resources and Borders department and a former member of parliament, stated that the Israeli occupation "does not possess the weapons needed for a war against Lebanon," emphasizing that the Israeli occupation needs weapons from Washington for any war it wants to wage against Lebanon, and stressing that "the next war with Israel will be nothing less than the final war."
In his interview on Friday evening on Al Mayadeen, al-Mousawi pointed out that in the event of an Israeli all-out war with Lebanon, the region will not be "as it once used to be."
Al-Mousawi explained that the Resistance found it necessary to use the air defense system against the warplanes that were terrorizing Lebanese citizens, thus repelling the occupation's warplanes from Lebanese skies on Thursday. He added that the weapon the Islamic Resistance decides to use is "imposed by necessity." He stressed that the Resistance still has "undisclosed capabilities."
Regarding the Resistance's targeting of Israeli espionage equipment, al-Mousawi told Al Mayadeen that the espionage capabilities used by the occupation on the border with Lebanon were "capable of covering areas up to Europe," stressing that the Resistance needed to strike these devices in order to blind the occupation.
The Hezbollah official asserted that all the leaders of the occupation who threatened Lebanon with war "have no idea about the true capabilities of the Resistance," addressing them by saying, "If war breaks out, it will be nothing less than the final war."
