Sayyed Nasrallah: Resistance behind Labbouneh Bomb, Israeli Eye on Galilee

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah disclosed that the resistance was behind the bomb which targeted an Israeli patrol in Shebaa Farms in mid March, noting that it was part of response for the Israeli raid on a resistance garrison in Janta.

In an inclusive dialogue with Lebanese daily, As-Safir, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the Israeli enemy got the message well, noting that “the issue here is not about rules of engagement (with the Zionist entity), but about deterrence.”

Sayyed Nasrallah considered that the Zionist entity through its raid on Janta was testing the ability of resistance to benefit from the current situation, especially Hezbollah’s involvement in the battle in Syria, in a bid to change the rules of engagement.

“When we had planted the bomb in Labbouneh we wanted to deliver a message for the enemy: We don’t permit to change the rules of the engagement. Wherever you enter, and we know, we will confront you.”

Sayyed Nasrallah said that if the resistance held its tongue following the raid, “the enemy may have striken any truck, house or any other target in any place (in the future) under the pretext that Israel is committed to strike qualitative weapons.”

Hezbollah S.G. ruled out a new Israeli war on Lebanon, stressing that the course of events in Syria raise the concerns of the Israelis.

Following these developments, the Israelis are raising questions about whether this experience will enable Hezbollah, if a new war takes place (with Israel), to adopt new courses in the battalion. In this context Israel’s eye is on Galilee, resistance leader added.
