Reference News reported on August 2 According to a report by Deutsche Presse-Agentur on August 1, Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed on the 1st to avenge Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukur who was killed by Israel, and immediately launch a retaliatory attack against Israel.

"We will respond soon," Nasrallah said at the funeral of Shukur, Hezbollah's top military commander and head of operations in southern Lebanon.

Nasrallah stressed that Israel and those behind Shukur's death "will inevitably be met with our next response" and "there is no room for discussion or negotiation."

He also said Hezbollah was looking for "a real response and a real opportunity."

“We have entered a new phase in our open battle on all fronts,” Nasrallah said via video link at Shukur’s funeral in Beirut.

According to Russian News Agency, Nasrallah said that Hezbollah is "on the eve of a major war" and that the murder of resistance leaders will not affect the size of the organization. "Experience shows that the resistance movement will only continue to grow and develop."

Nasrallah stressed that Israel still does not understand what red line it has crossed and what kind of aggression it has committed.

He said: "That is why we have entered a new phase on all fronts of our support for the (Palestinian resistance movement), and the degree of escalation in this phase depends on the enemy's response." (Compiled by Wang Dongdong and Tong Shiqun)
