Hezbollah threatens Israel again
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said July 23 that his group possesses an arsenal of rockets that can reach "any corner" of the state of Israel, including Tel Aviv.
"We could absolutely reach any corner and any point in Occupied Palestine," Nasrallah said in excerpts of an interview with the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite TV station.
The interview marks a year since the monthlong war between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas. Nasrallah said the conflict did not succeed in diminishing Hezbollah's military capabilities.
Repeating earlier claims, the Hezbollah leader said his group could already have fired at Tel Aviv last summer during the conflict, but had avoided doing so.
