In the same context, Al Mayadeen correspondent in Southern Lebanon reported fire from Lebanon towards one of the military sites in the occupied Shebaa Farms.

Nasrallah means what he says: Israeli media

Sunday's speech of Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah took over the news and analyses in Israeli media, which described the Lebanese Resistance leader as "very skilled in psychological warfare, which is an essential part of the war," and pointed out that all Israelis take Sayyed Nasrallah's speeches seriously.

Israeli media touched on Sayyed Nasrallah's speech at the one-week anniversary of the martyrdom of Resistance leader and martyr Wissam Tawil. They said that in his fourth speech, Sayyed Nasrallah showed "a lot of courage, and his messages remain steadfast."

The media highlighted that the Hezbollah Secretary-General is "an important part of the war, not only on the field but also in psychological warfare." They added that, in his speeches, Sayyed Nasrallah tries to exploit what is happening in "Israel", both in terms of public opinion and the war and captives.

According to the media, the Lebanese leader "listens to all the dialogues and discussions in "Israel" and closely monitors studios and analysts," and takes into consideration what the Israeli public says, emphasizing that "what he says about us is shocking."

Israeli media further pointed out that "those who did not understand what Nasrallah was saying, he said: if Israel wants to bet on an all-out war, it will collapse economically."

They noted that the Israeli occupation entity is currently paying economic costs for the war in Gaza and cannot afford another large and prolonged war with Hezbollah.

Former Israeli Reserve Army Brigadier General Effi Eitam, who was previously the commander of the Galilee Division and responsible for Israeli occupation forces in southern Lebanon until 1999, told the Israeli channel KAN that the war with Hezbollah "is an active second front."

Eitam recalled that Sayyed Nasrallah said on Sunday that Hezbollah supports Hamas and is not afraid of war, adding that the Lebanese leader believes what is happening to the Israeli military in Gaza gives him hope that the war will stop and the Israeli government will collapse.

The former Israeli General stressed that the Hezbollah chief "means what he says and implements it," suggesting the necessity of taking the Lebanese Resistance leader seriously.

Similarly, the strategic advisor and crisis director for the Israeli channel KAN also underlined that Israelis "must listen carefully to Nasrallah," adding that the Hezbollah chief understands that the Israelis are preoccupied with domestic politics and internal disputes and that this will bring the Resistance great victory.

Thus, according to the Israeli advisor, "Anyone engaged in internal politics now, anyone condemning the government and the army, should stop because they [Hezbollah] are watching us."
