The leader of the Lebanese movement Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, has said in a video that he is not seeking conflict with Israel, but is ready for it.
"We do not want war, but the military resistance is ready, and we are not afraid of war," he said. "It is our right, legal from the human and moral point of view, to meet the enemy anywhere, at any time and in any way that we will find suitable," Interfax quotes him as saying
Last Wednesday two IDF soldiers were killed in the shelling of a military convoy on the border with Lebanon. Another seven people were injured. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack.
