Lebanon and the Lebanese reserve their right to stand up against Israelis and their aggression, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has noted in a televised speech on September 10.
Nasrallah emphasized that there are “absolutely no red lines” when it comes to Lebanon’s defence, that of “its sovereignty, its security and its dignity” against Israeli attacks.
“In order to defend Lebanon, its sovereignty, its security and its dignity there are absolutely no red lines any more,” he said.
The Lebanese movement leader said that Hezbollah had shot down an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle inside Lebanon for the first time to strengthen deterrence against Israeli agression.
“Despite all the threats and intimidation, today we are affirming the balance of power and reinforcing the deterrent force that protects our country,” Nasrallah said.
