Palestinian resistance can protect its people: Sayyed Nasrallah

• 

The Israeli occupation was very clear on Sunday that it wanted to bring the war to a halt because it could not take any more rockets, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said.

The Lebanese resistance leader lauded the Palestinian resistance's response to the Israeli occupation's aggression on Gaza, stressing that "had the assassinations been left without a response, 'Israel' would have continued to carry them out."

"The Resistance in Palestine, as in Lebanon, can defend its people and protect itself while subjugating the enemy," Sayyed Nasrallah said.

Sayyed Nasrallah denounced on Saturday the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, calling it a flagrant and direct crime, condemning "anyone remaining silent regarding the crime in Gaza."

"The resistance has the right to respond to this aggression however it sees fit," Sayyed Nasrallah stressed. He went on to warn the Israeli occupation against making a miscalculation in Lebanon as it did in Gaza. "Time will tell, and you know that the resistance is stronger than ever."

The Palestinian resistance on Friday started responding to the Israeli occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip by launching salvoes of rockets toward the occupied Palestinian territories.

The launching of rockets toward the Israeli occupation came in retaliation after Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that explosions were heard in the Gaza Strip, occupied Palestine. The Israeli occupation had launched a shelling campaign that targeted the Palestine Tower in the center of Gaza city.

Al-Quds Brigades, PIJ's military wing, announced the martyrdom of Taiseer Al-Jaabari, a military commander in the northern Gaza Strip.

The latest tally of casualties caused by the Israeli aggression shows that 41 Palestinians have been martyred so far, with 311 others wounded.
