Hezbollah will fight with ‘no rules or ceilings’ if border war breaks out with Israel: Nasrallah

The head of Lebanon’s Hezbollah said there would be “no rules” and “no ceilings” for his group if Israel starts a “total war” against Lebanon.

Speaking in a televised address, Nasrallah warned that no place in Israel would stay safe from Hezbollah’s attacks.

“The enemy knows well that we have prepared ourselves for the worst… and that no place… will be spared our rockets,” he said, adding that Israel must “wait for us on land, by sea and by air”.

Nasrallah said the situation in the Mediterranean Sea would change, and threatened Cyprus if it continued to allow Israel to use its military infrastructure for drills.

“Opening Cypriot airports and bases to the Israeli enemy to target Lebanon would mean that the Cypriot government is part of the war, and the resistance will deal with it as part of the war,” he says.
