Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah leader, on Monday threatened that in the event of another war between Hezbollah and Israel, his Iran-supported Shi’ia Lebanese militia will strike all targets in the Jewish state “without any limits.” He added: “If the Israeli army escalates its aggression against Lebanon, Hezbollah will strike all the strategic targets in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the nuclear facilities.”

Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah leader, on Monday threatened that in the event of another war between Hezbollah and Israel, his Iran-supported Shi’ia Lebanese militia will strike all targets in the Jewish state “without any limits.”

If the Israeli army escalates its aggression against Lebanon, Hezbollah will strike all the strategic targets in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the nuclear facilities,” Nasrallah said in an interview with Hezbollah-leaning TV station Al Manar.

Nasrallah stated that Israel is aware of the quantity and quality of Hezbollah’s rocket arsenal.

In addition, he claimed that “Hezbollah possesses all the details about the positions of the petrochemical, biological and nuclear facilities across Palestine.”

The Jerusalem Post reports that Nasrallah stressed that Hezbollah does not want to start a war with Israel, but that his organization “does not grant Israel any security guarantees.”

Nasrallah criticized the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for their 11 March decision three weeks ago to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.

Israel does not respond to the Arab regimes’ demands, but some Arab countries work for the sake of the Israelis,” he said.

The Sunni Muslim-dominated GCC — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar – in 2013 imposed sanctions on Hezbollah after the Lebanese militia began to send its fighter to Syria to help the beleaguered regime of President Bashar Assad.
