Meanwhile Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has warned that its attacks against Israel are just beginning. On Sunday he defended the attack on Haifa and threatened to possibly bomb Israeli chemical factories.
- Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah: “The wide-scale attacks on southern Lebanon and the Bekkaa, particularly the cities of Baalbeck and al-Hermel and northwards, left us no choice but to fulfill a promise we had made to ourselves. So we shelled the city of Haifa. We know the importance and significance of that city. Had we targeted with our rockets the chemical and petrochemicals factories, a massive catastrophe would have befallen the inhabitants of that area. However, this avoidance does not mean that we will maintain this position.”
