The Israeli military has threatened that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Lebanon\u2019s resistance movement, will be a target of assassination in Tel Aviv\u2019s next war against the Arab country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere won\u2019t be a clear victory picture in the next war, though it\u2019s clear that Nasrallah is a target,\u201d the military\u2019s chief spokesperson, Brigadier General\u00a0Ronen Manelis, told a conference for journalists in the city of Eilat on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that if he dies, it will influence the [military] campaign,\u201d Manelis added.<\/p>\n

Israel launched two wars on Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, in both of which the Hezbollah fighters inflicted heavy losses on the regime\u2019s army.<\/p>\n

Nasrallah has repeatedly warned the regime in Tel Aviv against going for another act of aggression against his country, vowing that Lebanese armed forces would give a crushing response to the regime in any future war.<\/p>\n

The Hezbollah leader said last month that the Israelis \u201cdo not have a correct picture about what is awaiting them if they go to the idiocy of this war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in his Monday remarks, Manelis\u00a0admitted that the Israeli army is engaged in psychological and media warfare against Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military is \u201cactive\u201d in the field of \u201ctransition from traditional media consumption to social media\u2026. Just in the past few weeks, we\u2019ve taken a great many actions that caused consternation on the other side,” he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Manelis also claimed that the Israeli army \u201cmakes daily efforts, both overt and covert, in an effort to push back the next war.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever the next war will look different\u201d given the Israeli military\u2019s capabilities, he said, claiming that though the future confrontation is \u201cdifficult in Israel – in Lebanon it will be much worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comments come amid rising Israeli threats of a new war against Lebanon over the past months.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Lebanon\u2019s army chief Commander, General Joseph Aoun, ordered soldiers to stand fully ready on the southern frontier to respond to the Israeli military\u2019s \u201cthreats and violations.\u201d<\/p>\n

PressTV-Lebanon army puts troops on alert amid Israel threats<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lebanon\u2019s army chief orders soldiers to stand fully ready on the country\u2019s southern border amid Israel\u2019s threats against the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Israel in September conducted its biggest military drill in almost two decades on the Lebanese border to simulate \u201cthe next confrontation with Hezbollah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Lebanon\u2019s President Michel Aoun said his country reserved the right to resist and foil any Israeli aggression.<\/p>\n

\u201cLebanon was able to face the Israeli aggression since 1978 until the 2006 war. It was able to liberate its land. Israeli threats are still ongoing; the Lebanese have the right to fight and thwart it with all available means,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

Aoun\u2019s comments came after the Arab League\u00a0accused Hezbollah of \u201csupporting terrorism and extremist groups in Arab countries with advanced weapons and ballistic missiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The resistance group is represented in the Lebanese parliament and is part of the unity government formed late last year.<\/p>\n

Nasrallah said earlier this month that Saudi Arabia has appealed to the Israeli regime to launch a military onslaught against Lebanon in the name of fighting Hezbollah, and is ready to spend billions of dollars to attain this objective.<\/p>\n

The developments come amid widespread reports of a plan by Israel and Saudi Arabia to make their longtime secret ties official and unite against their enemies.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Lebanese officials have slammed Riyadh for seeking to provoke a political crisis in Lebanon by pressuring\u00a0Prime Minister\u00a0Saad Hariri to either take a confrontational approach towards Hezbollah or step down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
