In a televised speech before masses gathered in southern Beirut Friday, Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah declared that Israel’s destruction is imminent and its disappearance inevitable.
Marking the death of Imad Mugniyah his chief of staff and commander of the movement’s operations, Nasrallah vowed that Mugniyah's death was not in vain.”I swear by God your blood has not been spilt in vain,” he cried out as his supporters fired two rocket propelled grenades in the air.
Mugniyah’s death he said was proof that Israel is planning a war against Lebanon but warned that his fighters would come out of such an engagement victorious. “We will kill you in the fields, we will kill you in the cities and we will fight you like you have never seen before,” the Hizbullah leader said adding, “Israel will be left without an army and without an army, Israel cannot exist,” he declared.
While countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and France have beefed up their security measures, issued directives to its citizens to avoid traveling to Lebanon and shut down cultural offices in Beirut, Nasrallah declared they had nothing to fear noting that Israel was and still is Hizbullah’s true enemy. No one said Nasrallah will be able to protect Israel from Hizbullah’s rockets and missiles.02/22/08
