Hezbollah’s Executive Council Chief Sayyed Hashem Safiyyeddine warned Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak that he will discover that the 2006 war on Lebanon was nothing but a simple vacation if the Israeli occupation army made the stupid mistake of attacking Lebanon again.

Speaking a ceremony in south Lebanon, Sayyed Safiyyeddine said: “We have never, and we will never seek war. However the rule that we’ve adopted to keep the war away from our country is that we have to be strong. Based on the fact that we are strong today and we have been living on the formula and the victory of the 2006 war, we believe that all of the Israeli threats are empty and meaningless. On the other hand, what is happening in the region and in Lebanon in particular, pertaining to the attempts to target the resistance and its position, it has been proven that of those schemes have fallen down…All of the United States’ political projects to curb the resistance and take vengeance on it have also fallen down and therefore, there is no need to be worried…For some political players in Lebanon who do not want to perceive this fat, this is their problem not the problem of most of the Lebanese who have reached a political agreement that can be founded on in order to pull Lebanon out of its problems and crises. The Lebanese must differentiate between their friend and their enemy and they have to know how to set their political priorities.”
