Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah claimed on Monday evening that the Israeli air force can no longer decide a military campaign against his terror organization.
Sheikh Nasrallah said in a speech, "If Israel wants to start a war against us, it will need a ground offensive and its forces cannot carry out such a campaign because they are not ready for it." He claimed that Israel had failed in every attempt to harm Hamas in Gaza and attacked the United States for its decision to withdraw the exemption it had given some countries from sanctions for importing oil from Iran.
