The Lebanese Hezbollah broadcast a video message in Arabic and Hebrew, addressed to the leadership and public in Israel, in which it vowed to thwart Tel Aviv’s efforts to establish a buffer zone and a security belt on the ruins of the border villages in southern Lebanon.
The video message included scenes documenting the firing of rocket salvoes, and showing casualties inside Israeli settlements.
The party directed its message in the clip by saying: “Any security belt, no matter how deep, will not prevent its activation when we decide to do so,” in a clear reference to its arsenal consisting of rocket launchers, drones, and guided missiles.
In the context of directing the speech to the Israeli interior, the release reviewed a previous and brief speech by the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, in which he stressed that “these Israeli settlements, in northern Palestine, will not be safe, even if the Israeli enters any area in Lebanon.”
The party concluded the video clip by sending a direct warning message to the settlers, saying: “Do not be deceived by anyone, especially your government.”
This message coincides with Hezbollah members continuing to target Israeli army positions, concentrations, and activities inside the Lebanese border villages, where the party relies on directing concentrated strikes via missiles and assault marches.
The party stressed that these strikes come in order to defend Lebanon and its people, and to respond directly to the ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire, which include attacking civilians, destroying homes, and blowing up villages and leveling them to the ground in the southern sector.
Yellow line in Lebanon
Meanwhile, Israel announced that it had established a dividing “yellow line” in southern Lebanon along its borders, while its forces continue to carry out military operations in the region despite the validity of the truce with Hezbollah.
The Israeli occupation army continues to carry out systematic demolition and bombing operations that included dozens of towns and villages in southern Lebanon, as part of the “scorched earth” policy aimed at creating a buffer zone that prevents the return of more than a million displaced Lebanese to their homes.
The current Israeli project relies on a strategy of comprehensive destruction of vital facilities and necessities of life under the name of “disinfection and cleaning operations,” using equipment and contracting companies that previously participated in similar operations in the Gaza Strip, according to a report by Haaretz newspaper.
