<h3><span>Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of the Lebanese
Movement Hezbollah, warned on Wednesday that the possibility of an
incursion into the Galilee region in northern Israel remains plausible
in the event of a war.</span></h3>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Nasrallah made this statement during a memorial ceremony for
party leader Talib Sami Abdullah, also known as ‘Hajj Abu Talib’, who
was killed in an Israeli airstrike on June 12.</span></p>
<p><span>“The chance of sliding into a major war is possible at any
moment, even though Hezbollah does not desire a comprehensive war,”
Nasrallah said.</span></p>
<p><span>He emphasized that “for the first time since 1948, a security
belt has been formed in northern Israel, which has understood since
October 8 that its positions will be targeted, and we have enough
information about their fortifications, devices, and personnel.”</span></p>
<p><span>“So far, we have fought with a portion of our weapons and
acquired new ones, the nature of which will become evident on the
battlefield,” he added.</span></p>
<p><span>Nasrallah noted that Hezbollah manufactures missiles in Lebanon for use in operations.</span></p>
<h4><strong>Reconnaissance Video</strong></h4>
<p><span>On June 18, Hezbollah <a href="https://twitter.com/PalestineChron/status/1803062657282351576">released</a>
a 10-minute video showing an aerial reconnaissance operation carried
out by a UAV drone over the Haifa Bay area in northern Israel. </span></p>
<p><span>The video shows several locations, including the Rafael
complex, the civilian and military ports of Haifa, Haifa Airport, and
sections of the Krayot cities. </span></p>
<p><span>“We will not spare anything we can reach, and we have a vast
amount of information,” Nasrallah said, noting that the video it posted
“was selectively minutes from Haifa, while the drone flew for hours.”</span></p>
<p><span>He also stated that Israel is hiding its losses on the northern front to avoid further pressure.</span></p>
<p><span>“Forty-two settlements have been fully evacuated, and the
enemy’s military and security deterrence image are collapsing among its
people and the world,” Nasrallah said.</span></p>
<h4><b>Warning to Cyprus</b></h4>
<p><span>Nasrallah warned the Greek Cypriot administration of Southern
Cyprus against allowing its airports to be used by Israel during the
conflict, asserting that it would make Southern Cyprus a party to the
war and “Hezbollah would treat it accordingly.”</span></p>
<p><span>Later in the day, the Greek Cypriot envoy to Tel Aviv,
Kornelios Korneliou, stated that an official response would be made in
the wake of Nasrallah’s comments.</span></p>
<p><span>“When a person like Nasrallah issues threats, there will
certainly be a response. We are awaiting the official response,”
Korneliou told the Israeli daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.</span></p>
<h4><b>Hezbollah Commander</b></h4>
<p><span>Talib Sami Abdullah, 55, was killed along with three other
members. His death followed that of Wissam Al-Tawil, another top
Hezbollah fighter assassinated by Israel in January.</span></p>
<p><span>Abdullah was the commander of the Al Nasr Unit responsible for
the group’s operations between the Bint Jbeil area and the Shebaa Farms.</span></p>
<p><span>Hezbollah’s media broadcast images of Abdullah in military attire with the late Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani.</span></p>
<h4><b>Heightened Tensions</b></h4>
<p><span>Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, on October 7, the
Lebanese movement Hezbollah has engaged directly, but relatively in a
limited way in the war against the Israeli occupation.</span></p>
<p><span>Israel has occupied parts of Lebanon for decades and has only
left the country in 2000, following stiff Lebanese resistance under
Hezbollah’s leadership. </span></p>
<p><span>It attempted to re-occupy Lebanon in 2006 but failed in what Lebanon considers a major victory against Israel. </span></p>
<p><span>Israel, however, continues to occupy parts of Lebanon, namely the Sheeba Farms region.</span></p>
<p><span>Hezbollah has vowed to recover every inch of Lebanon that has been occupied by Israel contrary to international law.</span></p>
