The border battles between Hezbollah and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were the beginning of a new type of struggle, one that “won’t be limited to this,” Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a highly anticipated speech on Friday.The Lebanese political leader noted that his fighters have been engaged with the IDF since October 8, the day after hundreds of Palestinian militants breached the Gaza border fence and attacked several Israeli towns near the border, killing more than 1,400 people.According to Nasrallah, Hezbollah's attacks have extended across the ambiguous Israel-Lebanon border, referred to as the Blue Line. He further emphasized that these actions should not be considered as the final or adequate measures.The Hezbollah leader estimated that their attacks had drawn half of the IDF to the northern border and away from the attack on Gaza.Calling on Arab countries to stop exporting oil to Israel, Nasrallah said Muslim and Arab countries must do everything possible to stop Israel's assault on Gaza. "Speeches are not enough," he said, adding that a victory for Hamas and Gaza is in the interest of all countries bordering Israel.The Hezbollah leader said that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the October 7 attack on the Israeli border towns near Gaza, was 100% planned by the Palestinians and “was the right, correct and courageous choice.”Nasrallah accused the US of being “directly” responsible for blocking a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the Gaza Strip.Also on Friday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in Israel, pressing Netanyahu to allow “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting in Gaza, which has resulted in over 9,000 deaths and injured tens of thousands more. He did not call for a ceasefire - a position the White House has maintained since October 7. But Netanyahu said the attack would not stop without such a pause, including the release of all Israeli prisoners taken by Hamas in the October 7 attack.

‘Fighting Israel Won’t Be Limited to This’ - Hezbollah’s Nasrallah
15:10 GMT 03.11.2023 (Updated: 10:27 GMT 30.01.2024) Since the Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian militants on several Israeli towns near the Gaza-Israel border, Israeli and U.S. forces have faced a steady stream of attacks across the region, including from Lebanon's Hezbollah, Yemen's Ansarallah, militias in Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and their allied groups in Syria.
The border battles between Hezbollah and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were the beginning of a new type of struggle, one that “won’t be limited to this,” Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a highly anticipated
speech on Friday.
The Lebanese political leader noted that his fighters have been engaged with the IDF since October 8, the day after hundreds of Palestinian militants breached the Gaza border fence and
attacked several Israeli towns near the border, killing more than 1,400 people.
According to Nasrallah, Hezbollah's attacks have extended across the ambiguous Israel-Lebanon border, referred to as the Blue Line. He further emphasized that these actions should not be considered as the final or adequate measures.
“Our involvement has been limited so far, but it won't be limited to this,” Nasrallah said. “It is unprecedented in the history of the entity: daily, precise attacks on enemy military targets in the north of occupied Palestine.”
The Hezbollah leader estimated that their attacks had drawn half of the IDF to the northern border and away from the attack on Gaza.

“If Israel continues to hit our civilians, I say with constructive ambiguity: All options are on the table on the Lebanese front,” Nasrallah said. He added that “we have our preparations” for the US Navy ships threatening Hezbollah as well, saying to the Americans: “remember how you humiliatingly withdrew from Afghanistan.”
Calling on Arab countries to stop exporting oil to Israel, Nasrallah said Muslim and Arab countries must do everything possible to stop Israel's assault on Gaza. "Speeches are not enough," he said, adding that a victory for Hamas and Gaza is in the interest of all countries bordering Israel.
The Hezbollah leader said that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the October 7 attack on the Israeli border towns near Gaza, was 100% planned by the Palestinians and “was the right, correct and courageous choice.”
"The Al-Aqsa Flood proved once again that the entity is weaker than a spider's web," Nasrallah said. "There are now some Israelis who believe this as well. The Al-Aqsa Flood was the right, correct and courageous decision. The enemy was in a state of loss and confusion. It seems they were all asleep," he said, noting that it took "hours" for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant "to show their faces.

Nasrallah accused the US of being “directly” responsible for blocking a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the Gaza Strip.
Also on Friday, US Secretary of State Antony
Blinken was in Israel, pressing Netanyahu to allow “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting in Gaza, which has resulted in over 9,000 deaths and injured tens of thousands more. He did not call for a ceasefire - a position the White House has maintained since October 7. But Netanyahu said the attack would not stop without such a pause, including the release of all Israeli prisoners taken by Hamas in the October 7 attack.
