“In this phase, we will continue to maintain the supportive front [for Gaza] and the struggle [against Israel] in a creative way. From time to time we will kill them and fight them — where they expect it and where they don’t.

“The residents of the north [of Israel] will not return; more residents will have to leave their homes, and the support for Gaza will widen. Israel’s ‘military solution’ will only make things worse for Israel and the residents of the north.”Agence France-Presse and Times of Israel, “At funeral of slain terror chief, Hezbollah No.2 vows ‘open-ended battle of reckoning,’” Times of Israel, September 22, 2024, https://www.timesofisrael.com/hezbollah-supporters-arrive-en-masse-for-funeral-of-top-commander-ibrahim-aqil/amp/.

“We have not sought escalations until now, we have been fighting in support of Gaza but keeping in mind the Lebanese national interest. Every time one of our commanders was killed, our response was heightened but always measured. But an assassination of a top leader in the Dahia [Hezbollah’s stronghold in southern Beirut] must be treated differently. Our response is coming, God willing, from us and the axis of resistance — and it will be strong.”Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel staff, Gianluca Pacchiani, and agencies, “Israeli jets set off sonic booms in Beirut as Nasrallah threatens ‘strong’ reprisal,” Times of Israel, August 6, 2024, https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-jets-set-off-sonic-booms-in-beirut-as-nasrallah-threatens-strong-reprisal/.
