In the year 2000, the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, stood in the Bint Jbeil Sports Stadium in southern Lebanon, delivering his most famous speech, “Israel is weaker than a spider’s web.” This is a sentence that the Secretary-General of Hezbollah was keen to repeat from time to time in his speeches to his supporters among the party’s supporters in Lebanon and in his speeches directed inside Israel.
But Israel, which is even chasing symbols that oppose it, bombed in its recent attack on the suburb the stadium where Nasrallah gave the speech, as it launches a major military operation on the city of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon with the aim of controlling it within days, according to what Hebrew media announced, citing military sources.
A military source told Maariv newspaper, “We have been present in the Bint Jbeil sector for about a week. Hezbollah’s stronghold contains anti-tank systems, and Radwan’s forces launched raids on our territory, in addition to anti-aircraft bombardment.”
For the first time since the start of the “Assad’s Roar” war, the Israeli army changed the definition of theaters of operations, and as of yesterday, Lebanon became the main theater of operations according to the newspaper, after Iran was the main theater of war.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the military campaign against Iran “is not over yet,” at a time when the United States and Iran are holding talks in Pakistan with the aim of ending the war.
Netanyahu added, in a televised speech last Saturday evening: “The campaign is not over yet, but it can be clearly said that we have achieved historic results,” referring to what he described as military achievements during the conflict.
