Hassan Nasrallah said Israel’s assassination of Saleh al-Arouri 'will not go unpunished'

Hassan Nasrallah said Israel’s assassination of Saleh al-Arouri “will not go unpunished” and that the Lebanese group will not be deterred by Israel.

“What happened yesterday was very serious,” Nasrallah said.

“Yesterday’s crime is blatant, is serious. This serious crime will not go unanswered or unpunished."

Nasrallah said only “children and cowards” believe that Israel’s assassination of Arouri was not a strike against Hezbollah, but limited to Hamas.

“If the enemy decides to wage war against Lebanon, our combat will have no limits”

“We do not fear war. We do not hesitate to engage in combat,” he said.

Nasrallah said France, the US, the UK, and the Netherlands all warned Hezbollah not to open a second front against Israel, but the group was not deterred.
