Right after its seventh anniversary, UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that ended the war between Hezbollah and Israel was declared dead by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Nasrallah told the Beirut-based pan-Arab news network Al Mayadeen on Wednesday [Aug. 14] that his group is responsible for the Aug. 7 bomb attack that left four Israeli soldiers injured after they infiltrated into “Labouneh” on the Lebanese side of the border.
“What happened is that when two Israeli groups crossed the border, one crossed first and came across a bomb that was planted recently by Hezbollah,” Nasrallah told Al Mayadeen’s Tunisian presenter, Ghassan Benjeddou, adding that the attack was “an intended operation and did not happen by coincidence." Nasrallah declared, “This operation will not be the last; whenever we feel that the Israelis have entered Lebanese soil, we will act appropriately. We will cut the feet that violate Lebanese territory."
