Hi,
Hassan Nasrallah speech at noon was what we all waited for today, and in a matter of fact, yesterday as well.
During the last 4 weeks of war, Hezbollah way of handling was of bookkeeping the number of deaths of terrorists to IDF soldiers number of deaths. But they have avoided direct fighting. The speech could have go both ways, either to show the solidarity with Hamas (which means to keep the same track) or to join the war and open another front in this war.
Since Second Lebanon War Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah are alerted, or at least, this is what we wish to think. He is hiding in an underground bunker of fear of assassination, as happened to the former in position, Abbas al-Musawy. Israel wishes to keep it the same way.
It was clear Hezbollah would wish to have a victory picture before the speech, so the night before the speech was a nervous one. Hezbollah attacked Har Dov using rockets, missiles, drones, and anti-tank missiles. They managed to injure a couple of soldiers and hopefully to kill none.
The speech went the way we all wished for, as Hassan Nasrallah claimed the attack of Hamas on October 7th was “100% Palestinian, and what was hidden from all others.” And that the war is Palestinian, not regional, meaning the war would focus on Gaza Strip and not expend to Lebanon.
Although, some of us may think it means all military reserve duty soldiers in the north can be released now, but after the Black Sabbath, we can not trust that none of our enemies is alerted.
Take Care

A Whatsapp sticker was sent out after the speech, “Just wanted to say Good Sabbath.”
HAMAS is calling out for Hezbollah and Hasan Nasrallah reaction to Hamas on his speech.
