Hezbollah leaders: More lethal attacks on Israel imminent from Lebanon.
Hezbollah Threatens Large-Scale Attacks on Israel
Top officials in Hezbollah, a Lebanese-based and Iranian-backed terrorist group, have issued a chilling warning following the recent terrorist attacks in Israel. They have declared that even more devastating attacks will be launched against Israel from Lebanon.
In a televised speech on Sunday, Hashem Safieddine, the head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, stated, “The images of [Hamas’] invasion of the protected and fortified settlements, and the killing and capturing of large numbers [of people] was humiliating enough [for Israel] to serve as an indication of the capabilities of the heroic Palestinian resistance fighters.” He further emphasized, “Just imagine when these images repeat themselves one day but on a scale dozens of times larger – from Lebanon and from all the areas bordering with occupied Palestine.”
According to a translation provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Safieddine continued, “What will become of that cancerous growth, Israel, then? When we were talking about the destruction of Israel, some people were saying that we were delusional. Today has proven true the words of the esteemed leader, [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei, who said that one of these days we would put an end to this plundering entity. It seems, however, that the Israelis are expediting this, as we are seeing today.”
He added, “Oh, Americans and Israelis, your continuous stupidity, your disregard for [our] holy places, and your crossing of all the [red] lines, have brought about the Al-Aqsa Deluge. If you continue with this stupidity, and construct your positions and actions on miscalculations, you will bring about, this time, the deluge of the entire nation, and not just the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

MEMRI also highlighted remarks from Hezbollah official Hashem Salhab, who stated that the recent terrorist attack was just a small part of a larger operation aimed at completely eliminating Israel’s existence. He warned, “The Zionist soldier and the Zionist settler must begin the countdown of the remaining days of their existence. We are talking about the blessed Palestinian flood of resistance, a flood of Palestinian resistance that is part of the resistance axis. If the flood of the resistance axis reaches you, what will you do, you Zionists? The U.S. will not help you with a thing… It did not manage to predict this, and will not manage to stop the Al-Aqsa flood.”
He concluded, “You have seen today only part of the war and much more awaits you.”

What steps should the international community, particularly the United States and its allies, take to de-escalate tensions and prevent further violence in the region
He Zionists and their entity. You will bring about another war, the great war, the war that will rid us of you.”
These statements come after a series of terrorist attacks in Israel that have heightened tensions in the region. On May 10, 2021, Hamas militants fired rockets into Israel, prompting Israeli airstrikes in retaliation. The violence escalated, resulting in numerous casualties on both sides and leading to fears of a larger-scale conflict.
Hezbollah, known for its attacks on Israel in the past, has expressed support for Hamas and has vowed to join the fight against Israel. The group has close ties to Iran and has received significant support from the Iranian government. It is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, Israel, and several other countries.
The threat of large-scale attacks from Hezbollah is concerning, as the group possesses a significant arsenal of missiles and rockets. Its fighters are experienced and battle-hardened, having gained extensive combat experience in conflicts such as the Syrian civil war. Hezbollah’s involvement in the Syrian conflict, fighting alongside Syrian government forces, has further strengthened its capabilities and resources.
Israel, aware of the threat posed by Hezbollah, has been taking measures to counter its activities. The Israeli military has been conducting airstrikes in Syria, targeting Hezbollah weapons shipments and other infrastructure. Additionally, Israel has been enhancing its missile defense systems and building a border wall to prevent infiltration from Lebanon.
However, the recent threats from Hezbollah indicate the potential for a significant escalation in the already tense situation. With the involvement of an Iranian-backed terrorist group like Hezbollah, the conflict could spill over into a broader regional confrontation.
The international community, particularly the United States and its allies, must closely monitor the situation and take steps to prevent further violence. Dialogue and diplomacy should be prioritized to de-escalate tensions and address the underlying causes of the conflict. It is crucial to promote stability and security in the region while safeguarding the rights and safety of all parties involved.
Furthermore, the Iranian government should be held accountable for its support of terrorist organizations like Hezbollah. Iran’s backing of Hezbollah and other extremist groups undermines regional peace and stability, posing a threat not only to Israel but to the entire Middle East.
In conclusion, the chilling threats issued by Hezbollah highlight the escalating tensions in the region and the potential for large-scale attacks on Israel. The international community must remain vigilant and work towards a peaceful resolution to prevent further violence and instability. It is imperative to challenge and condemn the support of Iran and other state sponsors of terrorism, which perpetuates the cycle of conflict and poses a danger to regional security.
