The Israeli occupation have chosen to escalate tensions with both Lebanon and Iran when they conducted their terrorist operations in Beirut and Tehran, targeting not only Resistance leaders but also civilians, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Tuesday, stressing that the Axis of Resistance would respond to "Israel".

"Our response is coming, God willing,"

- Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah.

Sayyed Nasrallah remarked that "the enemy does not dare tell our people in Majdal Shams that what happened was due to an interception missile, as their goal was to incite strife."

He assured that a response is forthcoming, "God willing, and it will be strong and effective."

Sayyed Nasrallah indicated that the response might come from Hezbollah alone or as part of a collective response from the Axis of Resistance.

'Do not stab us in the back'

Addressing the Lebanese people, Nasrallah emphasized the importance of recognizing the current dangers and reassured them not to fear the Resistance's victory but to rather fear if "Israel" appears to have the slightest chance at attaining victory.

Additionally, he asked those in Lebanon who do not support the Resistance to refrain from undermining its efforts. "Whoever doesn't support us in Lebanon, we ask them not to stab us in the back," Sayyed Nasrallah stressed.

Moreover, he stated that the response would be forceful and effective, with "the current Israeli anticipation and waiting" being part of the response itself. He noted that "Israel" was today between a rock and a hard place, unable to know what its next move should be, indicating a precarious situation.

Nasrallah emphasized that "Israel's state of anticipation today is part of the battle."

He then stressed that the Israeli factories in the north could be destroyed within an hour, even "within half an hour."

On regional scene

Regarding the situation on the regional level, Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted that the ongoing battle centers on Palestine, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, with these areas forming the core battlefield, assisted by all support fronts.

The Hezbollah chief noted that recent developments have unveiled the objectives of Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's extremist government, which rejects any calls for a ceasefire or halt to the war, insisting on returning to further confrontations following a periodical ceasefire as shown in every round of negotiations.

According to Sayyed Nasrallah, Netanyahu's goal is to subdue Gaza and enforce absolute control over it. He stressed that the Israeli regime rejects the idea of a Palestinian State even within Gaza. He further underlined that the occupied West Bank was now being subjected to airstrikes and drone strikes, with plans to expand settlements, displace Palestinians toward Jordan, and officially annex the remainder of the territory.

Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized, time and time again, that the Israeli occupation was communicating to the international community that it had no intention of establishing a Palestinian State.

The Hezbollah leader further remarked that there had been no political progress since the Oslo Accords were signed 31 years ago. He criticized the American rhetoric about a Palestinian state, labeling it as "hypocritical and false."

Sayyed Nasrallah said US support for "Israel" now reflected its diminished strength and prestige compared to the past. He also highlighted that the Israeli occupation relies heavily on the United States and Western countries for protection, as it is incapable of safeguarding itself independently opposite to what things used to be historically where "Israel" would fight all Arab armies single-handedly.

'Israel' threatens to end the Palestinian cause

Sayyed Nasrallah warned that a victory for Netanyahu's government in Gaza and the West Bank would endanger the al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinian cause. He accused Netanyahu and his allies of aiming to establish Jordan as an alternative homeland for Palestinians.

Sayyed Nasrallah strictly and firmly underscored that the Israeli occupation's threat should not be met with fear or submission, asserting that the goal of the ongoing battle was to prevent Israeli victory and safeguard the Palestinian cause.

The Hezbollah Secretary-General stated that the assassinations of the martyrs Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Sayyed Mohsen should not overshadow the situation to falsely portray "Israel" as victorious.

He emphasized that the Israeli occupation remains in a difficult position, cornered, even after the assassinations of these leaders, asserting that the current battle had a broader perspective and unfolding significance.

Sayyed Nasrallah urged the Resistance in Gaza and the West Bank to continue to be resilient and steadfast. He also called on the support fronts to maintain their operations as they have over the past months.

Commander Fouad Shokor

During a tribute ceremony for martyred commander Fouad Shokor (Sayyed Mohsen), Sayyed Nasrallah presented the martyred leader as being from the founding fathers of the Islamic Resistance and one of its earliest commanders, emphasizing that martyr Shokor participated in all the key battles fought by the Resistance.

The Secretary-General further highlighted that Sayyed Mohsen was one of the masterminds behind the victory attained in 2000, and in 2006, the main operations room was under his command during the July War.

According to Sayyed Nasrallah, Sayyed Mohsen was present day and night in the operations room since the very first day of Operation al-Aqsa Flood.

The Resistance leader further emphasized that the martyr was one of the strategic minds of the Resistance, noting that he had a wealth of ideas and proposals. Sayyed Mohsen was responsible for preparing drafts on war tactics, new strategies, and other related matters, showcasing his innovation and expertise in these areas, he underlined.

Significantly, Sayyed Mohsen was also described as the "maker of men", explaining that the martyr was influential in his surroundings and many of the Hezbollah martyrs throughout the years were his students.

Sayyed Nasrallah then declared that the loss of Sayyed Mohsen was profoundly significant for the Resistance and its environment, but it did not shake their resolve or inflict any hesitation upon them.

On the practical level, Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted that the units led by Sayyed Mohsen prior to his martyrdom, even after his ascending, continue to advance and develop their operations, as evidenced by recent feats.

Hezbollah's Secretary-General also mentioned, in response to the ideas of Sayyed Mohsen who used to put forward ideas to terrorize "Israel" by breaking the sound barrier over the occupied territories despite having no fighter jets, that the most significant "sonic boom" the Resistance can create is that once drones are sent, sirens sound across Israeli occupation settlements.

It is noteworthy that at the beginning of his address, Sayyed Nasrallah had noted that the Israeli occupation might resort to breaking the sound barrier over the suburbs of Beirut in a provocative attempt due to their being "small-minded", as they had generated sonic booms over the Lebanese capital ahead of his speech as a futile scare tactic aimed at breaking the resolve of the Lebanese people.
