"'If you hit Beirut airport & Dahiyeh we'll hit Ben Gurion & Tel Aviv ... not just mere holes in the walls... "

Haaretz/ here
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah threatened Tuesday that if Israel attacks Beirut in the future, Hezbollah will attack Tel Aviv.
"If you hit Rafik al-Hariri international airport in Beirut, we will hit Ben-Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, .... If you hit our ports, we will bomb your ports, and if you hit our oil refineries, we will bomb your oil refineries.....It is untrue that we are giving Israel an excuse to launch an aggression on Lebanon. Israel does not need an excuse, and if it needs an excuse it creates one," he said. "If Israel strikes Dahiyeh, we will strike Tel Aviv.....They think that they can demolish Dahiyeh's buildings as we barely 'puncture their walls.' But I tell them today: You destroy a Dahiyeh building and we will destroy buildings in Tel Aviv, .... "

Nasrallah described the recent Israeli threats against Lebanon and Syria as "psychological warfare" to frighten the Lebanese people and government and to thwart the resistance from boosting its strength. We do not want war, but we are concerned with defending our people's dignity," he said .... "Israel has been living in a state of crisis on the strategic level since the July 2006 and Gaza wars. It can neither impose peace based on its conditions nor wage war," he said...."

And Al Manar on Imad Mughniyeh/here

".... On martyr Imad Moghniyeh’s assassination, the resistance leader said: “Today, on the anniversary in memory of Imad, I say that we seek revenge as big as Imad Mugniyah. That is what we want. Not revenge for the sake of revenge, but in order to defend all of our leaders. In the last couple of years,
we had lots of small opportunities to avenge Hajj Redwan’s death, but we did not go for them, because the killing we want to avenge is Imad Moghniyeh’s. Our enemy is anxious, let him stay anxious. We will choose the time, the place and the target which we want to be worthy of the martyrdom of Imad Moghniyeh...... We are loyal to the path of our leaders and we tell our martyrs that they can rest assure that their path will always be open and the cause they sacrificed their lives for will be fulfilled. We are your sons and your brothers and we will fulfill your dreams God willing.”
