Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government on Sunday of pushing the region to war in Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, and said nowhere in Israel would be safe if such a conflict were to erupt.<\/p>\n
Tensions have risen this year between Iran-backed Hezbollah and its arch-enemy Israel, which last fought a major conflict in 2006. Israel has said it would use all its strength from the start in any new war with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n
In a speech to followers, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the Israeli government did not have \u201ca correct assessment of where this war will lead if they ignite it\u201d, and did not know how it would end. \u201cThey do not have a correct picture about what is awaiting them if they go to the idiocy of this war,\u201d Nasrallah said. Israel does not know where such a conflict would be fought, or who would take part, he added.<\/p>\n
In June, Nasrallah said a future Israeli war against Syria or Lebanon could draw thousands of fighters from countries such as Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Pakistan. Israel is concerned by Tehran\u2019s steadily increasing influence in the region during the six-year-old Syrian conflict, whether via its own Revolutionary Guard forces or the groups it backs, especially Hezbollah.<\/p>\n
Nasrallah was speaking on Sunday on the occasion of Ashura, when Shi\u2019ites commemorate the slaying of the Prophet Mohammad\u2019s grandson, the Imam Hussein, at Kerbala in 680. He called on Jews who emigrated to Israel to \u201cleave and return to the countries from which they came so they are not fuel for any war that the idiotic Netanyahu government takes them to\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
