Retaliation against Israel ‘inevitable’, Hezbollah chief Nasrallah says

Hamas is bound to respond to Israel’s killing of its top military commander, Fouad Shukr, saying his death and that of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh “crossed” red lines, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned on Thursday.

“The enemy, and those who are behind the enemy, must await our inevitable response,” he said in a speech broadcast at the funeral of Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr.

"You do not know what red lines you crossed,” he said, referring to two separate strikes in Beirut and Tehran which killed Hezbollah commander Shukr and Hamas political leader Haniyeh.
