Only the beginning, warns Nasrallah



Only the beginning, warns Nasrallah

The leader of the Lebanese movement Hezbollah has warned that the
current confrontation with Israel was only the beginning.

"We will continue. We still have a lot more and we are just at the
beginning," Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday in a taped address
on Al-Manar television.

"We promise them surprises in (any) confrontation," he said a few hours
after a Hezbollah rocket killed eight people in the northern Israeli
city of Haifa.

"We will use all means. As long as the enemy has no limits, we will
have no limits."

'Fighting for Muslims'

Nasrallah said his fighters are "longing" to fight Israeli forces in
any ground invasion as he urged Arabs and Muslims worldwide to support
Hezbollah, saying it is fighting Israel on their behalf.

"The peoples of the Arab and Islamic world have a historic opportunity
to score a defeat against the Zionist enemy ... We are providing the
example," he said.

It was Nasrallah's first television appearance since Israeli air
strikes destroyed his headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs on
Saturday.

Nasrallah's predecessor, Abbas al-Musawi, was killed in a 1992 Israeli
air strike along with his wife and three-year-old daughter.

The five-day old fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has killed at
least 120 Lebanese civilians and has dealt a heavy blow to Lebanon's
infrastructure, especially in the south.

But Nasrallah sought to boost the morale of his supporters.

"We are still in our full strength and power. We choose the time and
place (for the battle). We still manage our affairs in an accurate
manner," he said.
