Nasrallah Warns Attack on Jerusalem Al-Quds Means Regional War, Israel’s Destruction

The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has warned Israel that any aggression on holy sites in the occupied Jerusalem al-Quds would lead to a regional war and destruction of the Tel Aviv regime.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks in a televised speech on Tuesday, in his first address after the victory of Palestinian resistance groups in their fight against Israel during the regime’s latest war in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“Gaza surprised both friends and foes, to be honest,” Nasrallah said. “And so, Israel misjudged the impact of its moves until matters reached a point when resistance in Gaza would have to carry out its threats.”

Hailing the “steadfastness” of Palestinian resistance groups, Nasrallah said Israeli officials and military must reconsider their assessments based on what happened in the Gaza Strip and beware of the consequences of their aggression.

“What Gaza did was a qualitative historical step in the history of the conflict with the Israeli enemy, and it should be highly valued. The people of Gaza and the resistance were in a position to defend and sacrifice themselves for Jerusalem al-Quds, the al-Aqsa Mosque and the sanctities of the nation,” the Hezbollah chief underlined.

“You must know that harming Jerusalem, al-Aqsa Mosque, and the nation’s sanctities is different from any other aggression you carry out,” Nasrallah warned the Israeli regime. “Harming the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy sites will not stop at the borders of the Gaza resistance, and will lead to a regional war and Israel’s destruction.”

“When the Muslim and Christian holy sites face a serious danger, there is no meaning for red lines or artificial ones. All the resistance movements can’t sit back and watch if holy sites are in danger,” he said, adding, “The whole world felt, in the latest battle, that there is one Palestinian nation moving in one direction towards one goal.”
