The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says the
Israeli military cannot escape defeat despite its apparent capabilities,
stressing that thousands of Israeli troops are now seeking mental health
treatment.
Addressing his supporters via a televised speech broadcast from the Lebanese
capital city of Beirut on Sunday evening, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stated that
even though Israel has greatly developed its arsenal and acquired
state-of-the-art missiles and military hardware, it cannot yet escape defeat in
any possible military confrontation.
"The Israeli army is incapable of recruiting a new generation of soldiers as the
draftees lack any sense of motivation to fight. According to Israeli media
reports, 44,000 Israeli soldiers sought help from psychiatrists last year.
Israel cannot change the spirit of the defeat that is with its military
personnel,” he pointed out.
Nasrallah then praised Lebanese youths for the outstanding courage they
demonstrated in battles to purge the country’s border regions of Daesh Takfiri
terrorists.
"Foreign media outlets are seeking to intimidate our nation by over-counting the
number of our martyrs. Those who think they can overawe our people are
delusional. We achieved full liberation of our border lands through sustained
efforts made by Lebanese army soldiers and resistance fighters,” the Hezbollah
chief commented.
Nasrallah underlined that the United States has always offered financial support
and funneled weapons to Daesh militants, saying, "US forces intervened to stop
Lebanese army from launching a military operation against Daesh in Joroud al-Jarajeer
area (in western Qalamoun region). On one occasion, US military helicopters even
airlifted Daesh commanders from an area in Syria, when the terrorists had been
besieged.”
The Hezbollah secretary general noted that the US does not care at all about the
interests of regional states in the Middle East, emphasizing that Washington
never stands by its allies and simply views them as tools in order to attain its
own goals.
Nasrallah also warned against a false flag chemical attack in Syria's
northern province of Idlib as a pretext for airstrikes against the Damascus
government.
"While the West is looking for an excuse to launch a military aggression on
Syria, it is turning a blind eye to the crimes being committed against Yemeni
children. Nobody knows into what abyss [Saudi Crown Prince] Mohammed bin Salman
is plunging Saudi Arabia and its nation,” he pointed out.
Turning to Lebanon’s internal affairs, Nasrallah stated that the inflammatory
rhetoric against Hezbollah has intensified ever since parliamentary elections
were held in Lebanon on May 6.
"The goal of the plot against Lebanon is to hold it responsible at all levels
for the deteriorating situation in the country. We are modestly the largest
party in Lebanon, but we have the least representation in the political arena.
We bet on intra-Lebanese dialogue for the formation of the new government as the
time is ticking away,” he concluded.
