BEIRUT, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said on Hezbollah's al-Manar TV on Sunday that his group's fight against Israel just began.
"Our fight against the enemy is just a beginning," Nasrallah said in the video tape.
He said that Hezbollah's strength was not harmed by Israeli massive offensive in the past five days. "We are in full strength and we'll give them more surprise on the land."
He vowed to use all means to exercise the right of resistance." As long as the enemy has no limits, we will have no limits."
He declared that Hezbollah was not fighting a battle for the group or Lebanon only, but also for the whole Arab world.
It was Nasrallah's first television appearance since a wave of Israeli bombardments against his headquarters on Beirut's southern suburbs in the wake of Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers on Wednesday. Enditem

Emile Lahoud said: "Unfortunately, what's happening is that the UN Security Council had a meeting and then postponed action, believing that by doing this there would come a time that the Lebanese will surrender. Stop the violence and arrange a ceasefire, and then after that we'll be ready to discuss all matters." Full story>>
