Hizbullah terrorist chief Hassan Nasrallah declared Thursday in an interview with Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) that there will never be peace in the Middle East as long as the State of Israel exists.

"The region will not see the light of peace and stability," he said, because of the "aggressiveness and the natural militancy of Israel." He added that the Jewish State "will not cease to try and achieve its goals. It will use every means in order to actualize its ambitions."

Nasrallah took the opportunity to reiterate his oft-repeated threats against Israel, saying that "any Israeli attack against Lebanon, Iran, Syria or the Gaza Strip will be answered with a harsh response. Our situation is stronger than it has ever been, from the logistical point of view, militarily and in numbers," he noted. Israeli military intelligence reports have confirmed that Hizbullah has re-supplied its arsenal with the generous assistance of Iran and Syria, with more weapons and matériel than it had stockpiled prior to the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
