Hezbollah Chief: Israel Will 'Weep' As Early As Tomorrow

Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said Thursday that Israel had “crossed red lines” in the killing of Hezbollah military chief Fuad Shukr and Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, and must expect “rage and revenge on all the fronts supporting Gaza.”

Claiming the fighting had entered “a new phase,” he said Israelis “will weep terribly” in the days ahead. ...

In a televised address at Shukr’s funeral, Nasrallah said Hezbollah was “paying the price for its support for Gaza and the Palestinian people” but said that the group was now beyond the support phase, declaring an “open battle on all fronts.”

What 'red lines' could Nasrallah mean? They've been firing rockets on civilian areas of Israel since the start of the war on October 7. Their fellow Iranian proxies raped and slaughtered civilians by the hundreds that day. If you shoot rockets at a neighboring country, that's an act of war regardless of whether they intercept the rockets or not. And Shukr is a valid military target, especially as the commander ordering those rocket barrages.

Nasrallah better be careful, or he's next ... and he knows it.
