Who is Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah?

Refresh you memory…

#Hamas could've NOT attacked #Israel on #Oct7, NOT killed Israeli civilians, and NOT taken Israeli and American #hostages, you know.

#Hezbollah could've NOT attacked Israel since October in solidarity with Hamas. While #NasarallahWasCoy initially, he has openly bared his teeth, you know ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/113137624265266678

Oct. 7 mastermind thanks Hezbollah leader for his help attacking Israel

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has thanked Lebanon’s Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah for his support in the ongoing war with Israel. In a letter dated Monday but released Friday by Hezbollah’s media office, Sinwar thanks Nasrallah for the “blessed acts” of Iran-backed groups in their support for Hamas since the deadly Oct. 7 incursion into Israel that sparked the Israel-Hamas war. Some 1,200 people were killed that day and another 250 were abducted. On Oct. 8, Hezbollah started attacking Israeli military posts along the border, triggering an ongoing exchange of fire that has left hundreds dead. More than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza. Sinwar called the war “one of the most honorable battles for the Palestinian people.”

"Nasrallah’s threat against #Cyprus suggested it was concerned #Israel was on the verge of launching an operation"

— This is poor framing and shows #amnesia in the media.

#Nasrallah said back in Nov '23 that Hezbollah is ALREADY engaged in unprecedented fighting along the #Lebanon-Israel border and threatened a further escalation just weeks into the Israel-#Hamas war started by latter on #Oct7

“We ALREADY entered the battle on Oct 8.” #NasarallahWasCoy? NO

Hezbollah leader threatens escalation with Israel as war rages on

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah says his powerful militia is engaged in unprecedented cross-border fighting with Israel along the Lebanon-Israel border and is threatening a further escalation as the four-week-long Israel-Hamas war rages on. Nasrallah spoke in televised remarks on Friday, his first since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war sparked by the Palestinian militants’ deadly Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. But he stopped short of announcing that his Lebanese militia would fully enter the conflict. Nasrallah also said Hezbollah, an ally of Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers, is not deterred by U.S. warnings to stay out of the war. He declared that Hezbollah is prepared for all options and "can resort to them at any time.”

Did you read about the #China-brokered secret #rapprochement that killed the #Arab-#Israeli #normalization just 7 months before #Hamas attacks? I even provided a link for your convenience.

#NasarallahWasCoy shows #Oct7 was NOT as "surprise" to ALL.

#Nasarallah is no longer coy and is baring his teeth.

“We now have new weapons. But I won’t say what they are,” Nasarallah said.

The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group warns archenemy Israel against wider war

The leader of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group says it has new weapons and intelligence capabilities that could help it target more critical positions deeper inside Israel in case of an all-out war. Hassan Nasrallah’s comments on Wednesday come as the cross-border conflict simmering between Hezbollah and Israel for more than eight months appears to be reaching a boiling point. The remarks also come a day after a top U.S. envoy met Lebanese officials in his latest attempt to ease tensions between Hezbollah and Israel over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Nasrallah said in 2021 that Hezbollah has 100,000 fighters, but now he claims it's far beyond that. He didn't elaborate.
