– The Host:
With regards to a point that the Israeli occupation continuously talks about, and even further, (the Israelis) declare it as a ‘red line’ which that will not allow to be crossed by the other side (i.e. Hezbollah).
Particularly, (we’re referring here) to the precision-guided missiles. (The Israelis) accuse the IRGC, and they accuse the Quds Force, and allow me to say that they accuse you personally for having a role to play in this regard.
Should the Israelis really fear the (military) power of the resistance and its missiles?
– Brigadier General Mohammad Hejazi, the Deputy Commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC):
It would be sufficient (for you) to follow the reports and analyses of the Israeli experts so as to understand the level of the fear that they (the Israelis) have regarding this issue (i.e. Hezbollah’s precision-guided missile arsenal).
They declared (these concerns) time and again. In one (Israeli) analysis they said, “Every 200 precision-guided missiles equal thousands of non-precision missiles.” They made this claim.
And they (the Israelis) continuously declare that they will not allow this to happen, meaning the arrival of precision-guided (missiles) into Hezbollah’s hands. However, you (referring to the host, Ghassan Ben Jeddo) heard directly from Sayed Hassan Nasrallah that (these weapons) have indeed arrived and that they own these missiles (now).
And we know well that Sayed Hassan Nasrallah is an honest man that never speaks (falsely) for the (sake of) media (spectacle).
When he says that it (the precision missiles) is in our hands then this is certain, and its number is greater than what the (Israeli) enemy thinks.
Praise be to God, the resistance today has great capabilities, and if the enemy commits any foolishness, it will surely regret it.
Not an unusual comment as the US empire’s support for external advertureism declines with the primary victims obvious and their opponents seeking advantage.

Suleimani brilliant prepared “suitcase sized upgrade kits” that turn dumb rockets and missiles into smart ones. A good portion is Israel is now surrounded by tens of thousands of such weapons.
The strategic balance has been tipped. That’s why Gen Suleimani was assassinated.

Yes Nasrallah is a rare man of light in a world of liars.
Say a prayer for those heroes who install these kits.
So, the next time Israel launches missiles into Syria or Lebanon, we can expect to see an equal number of such Hezbollah missiles launched at comparable Israeli targets?
Why have we not seen any such retaliatory launches?
It is always better not to start a war whose ending is in doubt.
The IDF would immediately coerce the US military to join in the war.
The “rules” of the ME is Israel gets to strike with guided bombs and missiles. Everyone else must not respond in kind.
That’s the reality. Slowly, realities change.
One reality that changed is Israel can longer invade as it did in 2006 and earlier in Lebanon and stayed for years.
Another reality is the use of proxies. AQ, ISIS and militias and PMCs alter the conflicts.
Hezbollah does not want a war. It intends to win geopolitically and within domestic politics of Lebanon.
Why bring down a heavy second strike on oneself when you aren’t at the point of fighting a complete war to the finish?
Timing is critical to the use of those tens of thousands of missiles. Only one side will remain standing in that conflict. Hezbollah’s strategy is to be that side.
They see the Hegemon weaken by the day, But it is far from truly weak.
They see the IDF’s limitations. They will exploit those at the correct time.
Patience is a military strategy. Russia has mastered it. Hezbollah is using it.
