The speech by Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday evening, on the occasion of the 17th anniversary of the 2006 July War, received considerable media attention in "Israel". Former officials, experts, and multiple commentators offered elaborate readings on Sayyed Nasrallah's positions and personal abilities.

While some commentators warned that Sayyed Nasrallah was so relieved that he was acting as a military and political analyst on Israeli matters, which makes it "a very good cause for concern", others described the Secretary-General as "the biggest expert on Israeli matters across the Resistance axis", adding that Sayyed Nasrallah "is a prominent member of this axis, and he does not receive orders, but is consulted."

Sayyed Nasrallah is rational

Former Israeli occupation officers elaborated on the pillars and ramifications of Sayyed Nasrallah's position. For example, the former head of the Intelligence Division of the Israeli occupation army (AMAN), Director of the Institute for "National Security" Studies (INSS), Major General Tamir Hayman, according to Maariv, said unusual statements by Hezbollah officials are "a well-known and routine matter," adding that "we are not close to a war against Hezbollah."

Hayman also stressed that Sayyed Nasrallah "is a prominent member of the [Resistance] axis, and he is not the one who receives orders, but is rather consulted."

On his part, a former member of the Knesset, Major General Aluf Eyal Ben-Reuven, described Sayyed Nasrallah to Channel 7 as a rational person who follows Israeli media.

Moreover, Brigadier General Amir Avivi, warned, in an interview for the Israeli Channel 13, that Sayyed Nasrallah derives his confidence from Hezbollah's arsenal of precision missiles.

Nasrallah is an expert on Israeli affairs

Israeli media showed wide interest in Sayyed Nasrallah's speech, giving it a great deal of news coverage, as commentators and analysts conveyed particularly important analysis, especially vis-à-vis Sayyed Nasrallah's response to the threats of Israeli Minister of Security, Yoav Gallant, warning that if war breaks out, "Israel", too, will return to the stone age.

Among the most prominent statements repeated by a large number of Israeli commentators was that Sayyed Nasrallah follows Israeli media closely and that he is familiar with the details of the events taking place inside "Israel".

The Arab affairs commentator on Channel 13, Hezi Sementov, said Sayyed Nasrallah reads Israeli newspapers and "continues to show his knowledge of the political situation in Israel," proving that he "follows closely what is happening in Israel."

A number of Israeli commentators stopped to highlight the "tone" of Sayyed Nasrallah's voice, which, according to them, reflects high self-confidence in Hezbollah's military capabilities. The Israeli editor of Palestinian affairs at Kan, Elior Levy, said Sayyed Nasrallah is convinced that his party has succeeded in "smuggling" enough "advanced (military and technical) capabilities" into Lebanon. The editor of Arab affairs at Kan, Roi Qais, warned that Sayyed Nasrallah feels that "Israel" is not in a position to confront Hezbollah.
