LATEST UPDATES FROM THE SPEECH OF HEZBOLLAH CHIEF NASRALLAH:
Israel strikes southern Lebanon as Hezbollah leader condemns fatal device attacks
Israel has launched air strikes on southern Lebanon as Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah condemns this week’s fatal exploding devices attacks
Nasrallah says the device attacks - which killed at least 37 - crossed "all limits, rules and red lines" and paid "no heed to innocent people”
Hezbollah leader plays down impact of attacks
Hassan Nasrallah put the bravest possible face on what has undoubtedly been one of the darkest moments in Hezbollah’s history.
He claimed, perhaps improbably, that the group’s communications networks had survived unscathed, and he mocked this week’s reports that the head of Israel’s Northern Command, Maj Gen Ori Gordin, is pushing for the creation of an Israeli-controlled buffer zone in southern Lebanon.
Nasrallah called Gordin a “fool”. Israel’s threat, he said, would turn into Hezbollah’s opportunity, which would have “dire consequences” for Israel.
Hassan Nasrallah’s much anticipated speech, his first public reaction since the wave of attacks in Lebanon in the last couple of days, had, as expected, some strong words against Israel.
Referring to the country, he said “the enemy” had exceeded “all limits, rules, and red lines” with the explosions that killed at least 37 people and injured more than 3,000 others.
He described the attacks as a massacre, and acknowledged that this was an unprecedented blow for the group but that its ability to command and communicate remained intact.
An investigation into how it happened has been launched, he added.
“It can be called war crimes or a declaration of war - whatever you choose to name it, it is deserving and fits the description. This was the enemy's intention,” he said.
He vowed a just punishment but, unsurprisingly, there was no indication of how this response is going to be. The cross-border attacks on Israel will continue unless there is a ceasefire in Gaza, he added, saying that the residents in northern Israel who have been displaced because of the violence will not be allowed to return.
Nasrallah now says the attacks will be met with a response "in a way that they might expect and that they might not expect".
"I won’t talk about place, time, location, details," he adds.
"You will find out when it happens. This reckoning will happen. The details, we won’t reveal now, because we are now in a very sensitive stage of the battle."
Nasrallah then finishes his speech. We'll be wrapping up the key lines here, so stay with us.
