Nasrallah threatens
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech on Thursday marking the anniversary of the IDF's withdrawal from Lebanon (May 2000) and against the backdrop of rising tensions in the north. He said, among other things: "You are not the ones who threaten the great war, but we who threaten you with it. Any major war will include all borders and arenas with hundreds of thousands of fighters, and we have superiority in the human aspect." He also said that "the bets on the so-called 'Arab Spring' have fallen in terms of reaching humiliating arrangements such as the Deal of the Century."
