The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says the Israeli military cannot escape\u00a0defeat despite its apparent capabilities, stressing that thousands of Israeli troops are now seeking mental health treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing his supporters via a televised speech broadcast from the Lebanese capital city of Beirut on Sunday evening, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stated that even though Israel has greatly developed its arsenal and acquired state-of-the-art missiles and military hardware, it cannot yet escape defeat in any possible military confrontation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Israeli army is incapable of recruiting a new generation of soldiers as the draftees lack any sense of motivation to fight. According to Israeli media reports, 44,000 Israeli soldiers sought help from psychiatrists last year. Israel cannot change the spirit of the defeat that is with its military personnel,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nasrallah then praised Lebanese youths for the outstanding courage they demonstrated in battles to purge the country\u2019s border regions of Daesh Takfiri terrorists.<\/p>\n

\u201cForeign media outlets are seeking to intimidate our nation by over-counting the number of our martyrs. Those who think they can overawe our people are delusional. We achieved full liberation of our border lands through sustained efforts made by Lebanese army soldiers and resistance fighters,\u201d the Hezbollah chief commented.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nasrallah underlined that the United States has always offered financial support and funneled weapons to Daesh militants, saying, \u201cUS forces intervened to stop Lebanese army from launching a military operation against Daesh in Joroud al-Jarajeer area (in western Qalamoun\u00a0region). On one occasion, US military helicopters even airlifted Daesh commanders from an area in Syria, when the terrorists had been besieged.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Hezbollah secretary general noted that the US does not care at all about the interests of regional states in the Middle East, emphasizing that Washington never stands by its allies and simply views them as tools in order to attain its own goals.<\/p>\n

Nasrallah also warned against a false flag chemical\u00a0attack in Syria’s northern\u00a0province of Idlib as a pretext for airstrikes against the Damascus government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the West is looking for an excuse to launch a military aggression on Syria, it is turning a blind eye to\u00a0the crimes being committed against Yemeni children. Nobody knows into what abyss [Saudi Crown Prince] Mohammed bin Salman is plunging Saudi Arabia and its nation,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Turning to Lebanon\u2019s internal affairs, Nasrallah stated that the inflammatory rhetoric against Hezbollah has intensified ever since parliamentary elections were held in Lebanon on May 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of the plot against Lebanon is to hold it responsible at all levels for the deteriorating situation in the country. We are modestly the largest party in Lebanon, but we have the least representation in the political arena. We bet on intra-Lebanese dialogue\u00a0for the formation of the new government as the time is ticking away,\u201d he concluded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
