Sayyed Nasrallah: Blowing up Pager devices a major Israeli aggression, will be met with harsh response

Beirut, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah offered condolences to the families of martyrs who fell in the last two days and wished speedy recovery for those who were injured, underlining that the Israeli aggression will be met with a harsh punishement.

The Israeli enemy crossed the red lines on Tuesday as it detonated thousands of ‘Pager’ devices simultaneously via a civilian tool used by large segments of society and did so again on Wednesday by blowing up wireless devices, Sayyed Nasrallah said.

Israel assumed that the number of Pagers surpasses 4000, and thus it was intending to deliberately kill 4,000 people in one minute, and on the second day, the enemy intended to kill thousands as well, meaning that throughout two days the Israeli enemy wanted to kill no less than 5,000 people in few minutes, Sayyed Nasrallah added.

Sayyed Nasrallah thanked the Lebanese government, and countries that provided support, including Syria, Iraq and Iran, as well as the countries that contacted the Leban
ese government and offered support.

Sayyed Nasrallah said that thanks to the sincere stance of the honorable people a large part of the enemy’s goals was disrupted. ‘We have formed technical and security investigation committees and we are closely following up this issue.’

Hezbollah Secretary General went on to say ‘There is no doubt that we have been exposed to a major and unprecedented blow on the security and humanitarian levels. This is the case in the war, and we know that our enemy has superiority on the technological level because it’s backed by the West.’

‘Tuesday and Wednesday were bloody days, but we will be able to overcome this ordeal and this blow won’t bring us down. Our front to support Gaza has been effective and put great pressure on the enemy’, Sayyed Nasrallah said, adding that when the enemy describes the events in the north as the first historical defeat for ‘Israel’, it is another evidence of ‘the effectiveness of our front’.

Sayyed Nasrallah stated that following Tuesday’s massacre,
‘we received messages via official and unofficial channels saying that ‘the goal from this attack was for you to stop supporting Gaza’. And our answer (to Israeli message) is ‘ We say to Gallant and Netanyahu that Lebanon front will not stop before the aggression on Gaza stops; the resistance in Lebanon won’t stop supporting and assisting Gaza, the West Bank, and the oppressed people in those holy lands.
