Beirut, July 24 (RHC)-- Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has addressed a fresh warning to the Israeli regime against its potential invasion of the country, echoing recent comments that were made by the group’s Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

The movement’s Military Media Unit issued the warning in a video, titled, “You will have no tanks left,” on Monday.  The title chimed in with remarks made by Nasrallah on Wednesday, in which the Hezbollah leader said, “If your tanks come to Lebanon and south Lebanon, you will not have a shortage of tanks, as you will no longer have any tanks left.”

The footage displayed Hezbollah’s fighters brandishing the group’s battle-tested anti-armor weaponry, including the arms used by it to successfully fight off the Israeli regime’s 2006 war on Lebanon. It also showed them deploying the equipment against several Israeli Merkava tanks.

The weapons depicted in the video included Hezbollah’s shoulder-fired anti-tank shell, Qaher, which the movement depended on heavily as the most prized asset in its firepower during the 2006 war.  The footage also featured Hezbollah’s anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) systems, such as Tharallah and Almas.

The former is capable of firing two missiles against a single target in tandem, a feature that helps it overcome the Israeli military’s Trophy active protection system, which works on protecting armored vehicles against a single incoming shell at a time. The latter can relay a live footage that exposes Israeli tanks and armored vehicles that are deployed in hidden positions.

Hezbollah and the Israeli regime have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year.  The firefight began after the regime launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip that came following al-Aqsa Storm, a surprise operation by Gaza’s resistance groups.

Hezbollah has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Israeli regime continued its war on Gaza, which has so far killed over 39,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

During the Wednesday speech, Nasrallah noted how Hezbollah’s operations had exacted a heavy toll on the regime.  “The toll includes 9,254 individuals, among them officers and soldiers, with 3,000 amputees, 650 paralyzed, 185 completely blind, and several thousands suffering severe psychological trauma,” he said.
