Israeli media touched on the speech of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, on the anniversary of the commemoration of the day of Ashura on the tenth of Muharram in the Islamic Hijri calendar.

According to Amir Bohbot, a military affairs analyst at the Walla! Israeli news website, said that Sayyed Nasrallah "continues to increase tensions across the borders and increase friction with Israel."

As usual, Israeli media once again analyzed Sayyed Nasrallah's speech, especially with regard to the Palestinian cause and the continued support Hezbollah offers the Palestinian Resistance.

In his speech, Sayyed Nasrallah said, "Hezbollah and the Resistance stand by the Palestinian people with all their being."

Bohbot explained that "Not for a moment was there any doubt" that Sayyed Nasrallah would stand by them, "not only in the West Bank, but also support their actions in Lebanon."

The Israeli analyst also made references to Sayyed Nasrallah's appeal to Arab countries to condemn "Israel's" behavior with regard to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, wherein the speech noted that "the enemy must see a definite stance by all Muslims."

For his part, Hezi Simintov, an Arab affairs correspondent for Israeli Channel 13, focused on detailing that "Hezbollah in Lebanon will not hesitate and will be ready for any development or confrontation."

Similarly, the Israeli Channel 12 website pointed to the same issue, and noted that "Before the debate scheduled for tomorrow, with the participation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior officials of the security and military establishment on Lebanon, Nasrallah touched on the events on the border, and pointed the finger of accusation at Israel."

It is significant to note that Walla! further stated that Sayyed Nasrallah's speech contains a kind of "message" to the decision-makers in "Israel", as he warned saying, "Beware of any foolishness," because the Resistance in Lebanon "will not be complacent and will not abandon its responsibilities of protection or deterrence, and will be ready to face any mistake or act of foolishness."

Nasrallah: 'We support Palestine with everything we own'

During his speech on Ashura, the Secretary-General reaffirmed Hezbollah's position regarding the Israeli enemy and urged Islamic countries to stand up for their sanctities and the central cause across the region: the Palestinian cause.

Regarding the repeated desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by barbaric Zionists, the enemy must see a definite stance by all Muslims, Sayyed Nasrallah underscored.

Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that this region will not rest until the "cancer ["Israel"] is removed," and stressed that the Palestinian people are now walking in the path of resistance.

He also pointed out that "the Palestinian people today believe more than ever in the resistance, place their hopes on it and on the axis of Resistance in the region, offering martyrs and striving with knives, explosive devices, pistols, and stones."

Likewise, Sayyed Nasrallah affirmed in his speech that "Hezbollah and the resistance stand by the Palestinian people with everything they own."
