Lebanon based armed group Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has vowed to retaliate against Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital, saying that this retaliation will be in the “heart of Tel Aviv”, reports Al Jazeera.
He also acknowledged that Hezbollah was dealt a blow when its former chief Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated by Israel.
But he said that the group is steadfast and resilient and that its fighters can engage anywhere and fend Israeli forces.
“We demonstrated our fortitude, steadfastness, bravery and intrepidness, to the degrees that some of our fighters are competing to get deployed to the forefront,” he said.
