In a ceremony honoring slain Hezbollah commander Taleb Abdullah, also known as Abu Taleb, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah delivered a eulogy praising the slain terrorist.

Nasrallah also addressed the escalating conflict with Israel, claiming that Hezbollah’s continuous attacks have forced the Israeli army to divert resources from Gaza.

Nasrallah asserted that Israel has suffered significant economic losses due to the evacuation of towns on the northern border and the halt of agricultural and industrial activities in the area. He alleged that Israeli leaders are downplaying the extent of the damage to avoid putting pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose priority remains the war against Hamas in Gaza.

The Hezbollah leader also mocked Israel’s claim of having the strongest army in the region, pointing out that the IDF has not yet been able to completely dismantle Hamas forces in Rafah despite a ground operation lasting several weeks.

Nasrallah also claimed that Hezbollah does not seek “total war” but only operates in support of Hamas, and that Israel can only talk about waging such a war but is not capable of conducting it.
