Nasrallah threatened “Karish and beyond Karish,” echoing a statement he made a few weeks before a month-long conflict with Israel in 2006 when he threatened “Haifa and beyond Haifa.”
The group subsequently launched rocket attacks on Haifa. Wednesday marked the 16-year anniversary of the start of the 2006 conflict.
Nasrallah also insisted that Lebanon had a “golden opportunity” in the next two months to secure its maritime rights before Israel completed work at Karish.
He urged Lebanese officials use his group as leverage, saying #Hezbollah was Lebanon’s “only strong point.”
“The resistance is telling you, make use of me. Take advantage of me... Tell the Americans that these guys don’t answer to anyone, they’re uncontrollable – say whatever you want. Say it,” Nasrallah said.
