Nasrallah: Israel recognizes Hezbollah's force and resistance

Hezbollah Leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivered on Monday his first speech following the assassination of Brigadier General Wissam al-Hassan on the occasion of "Martyr Day".                     

In his speech Nasrallah said that 30 years ago, on the 11th of November 1982, the Islamic Resistance was formed, pointing out that it shall pursue its mission to defend Lebanon and develop the countries capabilities.                                 

On Israel, Sayyed Hassan said that Israel recognizes Hezbollah's force and resistance.                         

"Some March14 officials hope that Israel would strike Lebanon in the wake of the Ayoub aircraft issue, but Israel disappointed them," he added.                      

As for national dialogue, Nasrallah addressed "those setting conditions" saying that "it is a privilege to sit with us on the same table."           

He also added that Hezbollah has the right to set conditions for dialogue.

"March14 forces took advantage of Gen. Hassan's assassination to point fingers at Hezbollah and consequent boycott cabinet," Nasrallah said.

He added saying: "all facts prove that some opponent parties are helping foreign hands instigate strife in Lebanon."

In addition to this Nasrallah said that some March14 Christian parties want to deteriorate the Lebanese situation.

Nasrallah addressed both Shiites and Sunnites and asked them to be wise seemingly since "scholars and leaders" should communicate together to find a solution.
