Hezbollah leader warns Israel will vanish in next war

epa07616550 Hezbollah Supporters listen to Lebanon's Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah delivers a speech via a big screen during a gathering to commemorate the 'Al-Quds (Jerusalem) International Day' in southern suburb of Beirut, Lebanon, 31 May 2019. Many Muslim countries demonstrate on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, to mark Al-Quds day, and to express solidarity with the Palestinian people. Al-Quds (Jerusalem) International Day is an annual event opposing Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories. Anti-Zionist demonstrations are held on this day in some Muslim and Arab countries and by Muslim and Arab communities around the world, but especially in Iran where the occasion was first suggested.

Israel will be wiped out in the next war with Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah warned on Friday in an interview with Al-Manar TV on the 13th anniversary of the Second Lebanon War.

“Any war will be bigger than the 2006 war for Israel and it will put it on the brink of extinction,” the group’s leader told the Hezbollah TV network.

Nasrallah said there will be “surprises on the ground, in the air and at sea” in the next war between the two enemies

Pulling out a map of Israel, Nasrallah pointed to strategic targets that he said Hezbollah could hit, including Ben-Gurion Airport, arms depots, petrochemical and water desalination plants, Tel Aviv and the Ashdod Port.

He also claimed that the group could hit Eilat on the Red Sea, adding that Hezbollah fighters are “well-prepared for the invasion of the Galilee” and that the group’s leadership “has prepared several scenarios for such a move.”

Israel’s military has repeatedly warned that the Lebanese government is responsible for the digging of cross-border attack tunnels, which it says were part of a Hezbollah plan to attack communities in northern Israel.
