Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah claimed in an interview yesterday that the Lebanese Shiite party’s militant wing had doubled its supply of precision-guided missiles and can strike anywhere in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.

“The precision missile project has not stopped and will not stop,” Nasrallah told pro-Hezbollah Al-Mayadeen TV, adding that any Israeli strike on Lebanon would be met with retaliation.
