The head of Lebanon’s Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah has warned that his group would fight with “no rules” and “no ceilings” in case a broader war with Israel erupts, and that nowhere in Israel would be safe from Hezbollah’s attacks.

In a televised address, Nasrallah said that included possible targets in the Mediterranean Sea.

Nasrallah also threatened Cyprus for the first time, saying Hezbollah could consider it “a part of the war”, if it continued to allow Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises.

Ibrahim Moussawi, a Hezbollah member of the Lebanese Parliament, says while the Lebanese-armed group does not want an all-out war with Israel, it is prepared to fight one if it is “imposed” on them.

    The Israeli diaper force will not go to war with Lebanon, the Golani girls cried in 2006!
  • @tttheta
    Wonderfully spoken Mr. Ibrahim. These are crimes against humanity. Its not about religion, race, or ethnicity. Anyone with an ounce of humanity will stand behind and speak up for the oppressed, the Palestinians.

    If by now you don’t see israel as evil, it’s because you are too
  • @gertvogelaar
    Israel is going to loose I think, fascism has no future. A one state solution with Palestina as a normal state with equal rights for all inhabitants is the end solution.
  • @LovySir
    Lebanon has full rights to take its land and self defence.

    I love that Hassan has to correct the "westernised" Al Jazeera in that it is not the Israel Lebanon border it is the Palestine Lebanon border. Thank you Hassan! Free Palestine!

  • @Omararissdubai
    He is amazing. I love how he addressed the Palestinians as ‘our people’. Because they are!!!!
  • @theman2223
    Cyprus has been sending aid to Gaza, how about thanking them instead of threatening them you flop!
  • So Israel lost in Palestine after so much destruction And they think they can tackle Hezbollah?😂
  • @djexitkenya881
    It's beyond religion. Humanity and people's life is important. War should end.
  • Threatening Cyprus, seriously? Do you know that Cyprus has taken the INITIATIVE and the ACTION to provide humanitarian help for the Palestinians in this conflict, and has been the main coordinator on supplying the humanitarian aid in Gaza. Do you know that the UK has SOVEREIGN military bases in Cyprus , in which they can coordinate attacks WITHOUT needing the consent of the Cypriot government? Yet Hezbollah leader blames Cyprus, a semi-occupied country, in cold blood. Well done, very "brave" statement, blaming Cyprus is the solution for not having the balls to threaten NATO directly.
