Nasrallah Vows to Avenge Assassination of Hezbollah Commander

HeadlineFeb 25, 2008

In Lebanon, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has vowed to avenge the assassination of his senior commander Imad Moughniyah. Moughniyah died in a car bombing in Syria on February 12. Hezbollah has accused Israel of carrying out the assassination. On Friday, Nasrallah threatened to deal Israel a crushing blow if it attacked Lebanon again.

Hassan Nasrallah: “We will defend ourselves in the way that we choose, at a time we choose and a place we choose. It is our decision… No one, neither the Zionists nor their agents, will be able to protect the entire internal front. No one will be able to protect the internal front from our rockets.”
