Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem says missiles will fall on Israel if it resumes war on Lebanon

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem threatened Israel directly in a televised speech on Tuesday, saying missiles would fall on it if it resumed a broad war on Lebanon.

Qassem said Hezbollah, Lebanon's army and Lebanon's people would defend themselves should Israel engage in a "large-scale aggression".

"This defence will lead to missiles falling inside the Israeli entity, and all the security they have built over eight months will collapse within an hour," he said.
