‘Thousands of Rockets…Will Fall on Tel Aviv’: Hezbollah Issues Chilling Warning to Israel

(TheBlaze/AP) — Lebanon’s Hezbollah will fire thousands of rockets into Israel in any future war, specifically targeting cities in the country’s heartland, the group’s leader said Sunday.

Sheik Hassan Nasrallah’s warning came just days after a cease-fire between Gaza and Israel halted the latest round of violence, which Nasrallah said Hamas militants won with “a clear victory.”

Hezbollah, like Hamas and other Gaza militant factions, maintains a rocket arsenal and regularly threatens to use it. It fought a bloody 34-day war with the Jewish state in 2006 that left 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israelis dead.

The Gaza war marked the first use by Palestinian factions of a longer ranged Iranian-made rocket, the Fajr-5, though.Β  It caused no casualties but did trigger air raid warnings in the heartland cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, which, unlike cities closer to the Lebanese and Gaza borders, have not experienced any sustained missile attack since Iraqi Scuds were fired in the 1991 Gulf War.

Hezbollah fired at least one long-range rocket ineffectually in the 2006 war, but Israeli intelligence now believes the militant group has the capability to strike anywhere in the country.Β  Israel now deploys air defense systems designed to counter the threat, but it is not 100% effective.

In the Gaza conflict, Israeli aircraft launched some 1,500 strikes on targets linked to the Palestinian territory’s Hamas rulers and other groups, while Gaza militants fired roughly the same number of rockets into Israel.

Nasrallah said in a speech in Beirut that the Fajr-5 attacks “shook Israel,” asking: “How is [Israel] going to stand thousands of rockets that will fall on Tel Aviv and other areas, if it launches an aggression against Lebanon?”

It should be noted that, while Hezbollah leaders are careful to say they will only ​respond​ to an Israeli attack, many perceive themselves to be under constant attack because of Israeli “occupation” in one area or another.

Nasrallah spoke via a video link from a secret location to tens of thousands of supporters in Beirut who gathered to mark Ashoura, the annual Shiite commemoration of the 7th-century death of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson.

Hezbollah fired nearly 4,000 rockets at Israel during the 2006 war and is believed to have upgraded its arsenal since then. Nasrallah did not say how many missiles and rockets his group possesses, although in the past he said they have more than 20,000. Israel estimates the number at several times that.

“The battle with us is going to be all over occupied Palestine,” the black-turbaned Nasrallah said. “From the border with Lebanon to the frontier with Jordan to the Red Sea.”

“The Israelis should listen well to me. From Kiryat Shemona to Eilat,” Nasrallah said referring to a northern Israeli town near the border with Lebanon to the southern resort town of Eilat on the Red Sea.

Since the 2006 war ended, both Israeli and Hezbollah officials have been warning each other that the next battle between the two groups will be more destructive.

Some Israeli generals had spoken of the “Dahiya doctrine,” named after the Beirut suburbs considered a Hezbollah stronghold where Israel turned dozens of buildings to piles of debris in 2006.

In August, Nasrallah said Hezbollah will transform the lives of Israelis to “hell” if Israel attacks Lebanon, adding that the group would not hesitate to hit targets that would leave tens of thousands of Israelis dead.

Hezbollah was created in 1982, weeks after Israel invaded Lebanon. Israel withdrew in 2000 to a border drawn by the U.N., but Lebanon claims Israel still occupies a slice of its territory.

Here is video of Nasrallah’s warning, via the Middle East Media Research Institute:

    A few tactical nukes on Gaza and north, too, to wipe out Hizbullah. The world will shriek – but they will no matter what Israel does.

      Before the day of the rapture comes you need to begin to automatically gravitate toward the Spirit realm because at the time of the rapture you will be drawn by irresistible power of the Living God. It will so captivate you, so magnetize you, that you won’t be able to hold yourself back. And this former life will look like absolute rubbish in comparison.

    Our Muslim enemies are no longer afraid of retaliation from the United States, ever since Barack HUSSEIN Obama became President.
    Obama is the most “Muslim friendly” President (leader) in the entire World.

    Israel is America’s only ally in the Middle East, but yet Obama does nothing about these threats toward Israel.

    Israel should issue a cease fire order to it’s military when all their enemies are dead,the lunatics won’t surrender so Israel will have to eliminate all of them. Why try to sugar coat it any longer? Israel will always lose the propaganda war because the so called ‘press’ especially in Amerika is so hostile to Israel so I say just start your war and end it quickly. These minor skirmishes are cruel to both sides even to the subhuman Palestinians and their terrorist backers,just end them once and for all.
