Sayyed Nasrallah: We condemn any attack against army
Peace be upon you and best wishes on the occasion of the seventh Resistance and Liberation Day. As I make my live address through Al-Manar TV station, I thank Almighty Allah for His blessings. Praised be Allah for rendering us victorious and granting us success to continue on this path. Brothers and sisters, I feel proud on this Resistance and Liberation Day, however, we are not joyful given the recent events in Lebanon. On this day, I salute the martyrs on top of which is martyr Sayyed Abbas Moussawi and his family, martyr Sheikh Ragheb Harb and all the martyrs in Lebanon not forgetting the martyrs of the Lebanese army and security forces, the martyrs of the resistance in occupied Palestine, and the martyrs of the Arab Syrian army. I also salute the wounded and their families and the detainees in Israeli jails as well as resistance fighters and their families."
With these words Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah began his live address on Al-Manar TV station Thursday night. His eminence tackled three topics: The reality and characteristics of the resistance, Hezbollah and politics in Lebanon and the recent incident in north Lebanon.

Sayyed Nasrallah said that "we should be aware of the American hand in the incident in northern Lebanon. "There should be an investigation over the cause of the incident, how did it start and who to the decision. The Americans have built an air bridge to send military supplies to the Lebanese Army upon Saniora's request. This is dangerous. They say that during the war, the government had asked Washington to interfere to stop the war, however, the United States refused. Instead it asked the Israelis to proceed.
Sayyed Nasrallah said that what is taking place north of Lebanon is not isolated from the general atmosphere and political wrangling, not to forget security perils Lebanon is facing at this stage.
"The Nahr al-Bared question is a very delicate, complicated and dangerous one. It is interrelated with the questions of Lebanon, Palestine, the region, the American, the camps, the settlement of the Palestinians and the war on terror," he added.
His eminence warned that Lebanon is today facing a real problem and that everyone is looking how to salvage this country.
"The Lebanese army is the guardian of security, stability and national unity in this country. We should all regard this army as the only institution left capable of preserving security and stability in this country, with all due respect to other security services. We condemn any attack against the Lebanese army or the Lebanese security services, regardless of the attackers.
No one can rule Lebanon alone, no one can impose his will on Lebanon and no one can delete the other from the political map of this country. However, the other group still insists on it behavior and performance; bringing us to the incidents in north Lebanon.
"We were even ready to sit at a round table and discuss the arms of the resistance, which we consider sacred. But the target has always been the resistance in every aspect, even it name "resistance." Today is supposed to be The Resistance and Liberation day, not according to us but according to the ministerial statement, however the word "resistance" has been removed. We did not engage in politics to be given this or that ministry. Nevertheless, what we discovered is that the other side did not want to discuss the tribunal of international character. Instead they smuggled it to the Security Council and unfortunately made a terrible mistake when they demanded the tribunal be ratified under chapter seven of the UN charter.
The secretary general explained that Hezbollah had been monitoring what was taking place on the internal front, however, he added that the party's main focus was to be prepared for a day that eventually came, "because we knew that the Zionists will not let their defeat pass quietly."
"We've engaged in politics on the 14th of February 2005; the day that saw this small country hit by a massive earthquake, that is the assassination of former Prime Minister martyr Rafik Hariri. This is when we sensed that Lebanon had entered a dark tunnel and that it was our duty to engage in politics. But soon we discovered that fighting Israel is much cleaner and more honest that engaging in politics in Lebanon. Our priority was to prevent Lebanon from slipping into sedition and avoid an inter-Lebanese conflict, whether a Muslim-Christian conflict, sectarian or even a Lebanese-Palestinian conflict.
The Hezbollah chief reminded that during the victory rally in Bint Jbeil in the year 2000, he dedicated the victory to the Palestinian people who after a few months, kicked off the second Intifada.
"I did not ask for a reward because this was our duty," Sayyed Nasrallah said.
On the first topic Sayyed Nasrallah said that the Islamic Resistance spearheaded the resistance movement in Lebanon after the National Resistance. "One of the major characteristics of the resistance is its Islamic, ethical and national commitment. Our military operations targeted Israeli occupation forces but it had never occurred that it targeted innocent civilians. When a bomb was planted and civilians were in the target area, the operation was postponed. The resistance also gave great heed to the lives of the families of the collaborators and everyone knows that the operation to take down collaborator Akel Hashem was postponed for months because his family was in the circle of danger. When he got killed, he was killed alone," Sayyed Nasrallah said.
However, he added, this is not the conduct of the US and Israel in Iraq, Afghanistan and occupied Palestine.
