Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivered a powerful speech condemning Israeli actions across the region, reaffirming Hezbollah’s commitment to regional resistance and highlighting the crucial role of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as a collective battle for the nation.
On Wednesday, during the Ashura march commemorating the tenth of Muharram, Sayyed Nasrallah also underscored Yemen’s effectiveness in imposing naval blockades and issued a stern warning to Israel regarding potential aggression against Lebanon.
Hezbollah’s Secretary General addressed the Zionist enemy with a stern warning: “If your tanks enter Lebanon and its southern regions, you won’t have to worry about a shortage of tanks—there will be no tanks left.” He emphasized that “our front in Lebanon will remain active as long as the aggression against Gaza, its people, and their resistance continues in all its forms.”
Speaking during the Ashura rally in the southern suburb of Beirut, Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted that: “continuing to target civilians will compel the resistance to launch missiles and target new settlements previously untouched.” He added that “if ceasefire takes place, the responsibility for negotiations and providing answers falls to the Lebanese state.”
Sayyed Nasrallah refuted rumors about a ready-made agreement regarding the Lebanese front, asserting that “everything suggested about a ready agreement is incorrect.” He clarified that “the future of the situation in the south will be determined by the outcome of the battle in which the resistance and support fronts will emerge victorious.”
“We will rebuild our front-line villages to their former state and make them even more beautiful. They stand as symbols of our steadfastness and resistance,” he also affirmed. He saluted the “steadfast and conscious environment upon which the resistance relies,” describing their presence as a clear expression of commitment, awareness, and patience, and extended his salutations to their martyrs, the wounded, and their families.
Sayyed Nasrallah addressed those urging recognition and normalization with the usurping entity, quoting Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein (peace be upon him): “To those urging us to recognize, acknowledge, and normalize relations with this usurping entity, we echo the words of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein (PBUH) during the siege upon him: “I will not surrender to you like a servile, nor will I submit to you like a slave.”
He further added: “To those who urge us to cease our support for the oppressed and attacked in Gaza, and who wage war against us to instill fear, we respond with the words of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him): Beware that this illegitimate son (Ubayd Allah) of the illegitimate one (Ziyad b. Abih) has put us between two choices: death or humiliation. And humiliation is far from us. ”
To the people of the Gaza Strip enduring brutal Israeli aggression since October 7, he said, “Peace be upon Gaza, its people, its martyrs, and its wounded. Peace be upon its women, men, and children, its hunger, thirst, pride, heroism, and miracles.”
Sayyed Nasrallah reiterated Hezbollah’s commitment to “winning for Palestine, the oppressed Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the people of Lebanon.” He noted that since October 8, “we have embarked on a new battle and opened the front of support for the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, as it is the battle of the entire nation.”
In addition to this, we have established support fronts in Yemen and Iraq, with Syria and Iran standing alongside us as allies, His eminence added.
“Yemen has successfully imposed a blockade on the port of Eilat, leading to its declaration of bankruptcy and causing shipping prices to soar highly; this has had serious repercussions for the entity,” Hezbollah’s S.G. further said.
For the first time, Sayyed Nasrallah indicated, the Zionist entity is facing its worst days since its founding. “They are now talking about the destruction of the Third Temple, following the destruction of the previous two. For the first time, ‘Israel’ seems unable to achieve its goals, suffering across multiple fronts: its army, security services, government, political parties, adverse immigration, self-confidence, the people’s confidence in staying, and the world’s view of it. This is the result of relentless fighting and steadfastness.”
“In the face of the suffering of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, the siege of over two million people in Gaza, the threats to Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the world’s silence and neglect of the Palestinian cause, we find ourselves in complete harmony with this battle and with the stance of Imam Hussein (PBUH),” Hezbollah’s leader further added.
Sayyed Nasrallah described Israel’s current predicament: “For the first time, Israel is struggling across its army, security services, government, political parties, society, security, and economy. This is the result of relentless fighting and steadfastness.”

“All of the entity’s attempts to conceal its human and material losses, whether in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, or southern Lebanon, are beginning to unravel. The toll includes 9,254 individuals, among them officers and soldiers, with 3,000 amputees, 650 paralyzed, 185 completely blind, and several thousand suffering severe psychological trauma.”
Sayyed Nasrallah called for “solidarity from the nation and the free and honorable people of the world with Gaza, its people, and its resistance,” urging the Palestinian people to “unite in the battle of resistance that will shape the fate of Palestine, the region, and the nation.”
He also held the United States fully accountable for the massacres committed by the Israeli enemy due to its provision of weapons.
Concluding his speech, Sayyed Nasrallah renewed his loyalty to Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), stating, “We have not abandoned you, O Hussein. You know, and the whole world knows, as evidenced by our martyrs, the wounds of our wounded, and our destroyed homes. Always and forever, at your command, O Hussein.”
