Nasrallah: If the whole universe comes, they wont regain the two prisoner soldiers except through indirect negotiations to conduct prisoners exchange

In an interview with General Secretary of Hezbollah Mr. Hasan Nasrallah held by al-Jazeera TV, Nasrallah denied the Israeli reports that talked about striking and destroying 50% of the military capabilities of Hezbollah.

He affirmed that the leadership structure in all its military and political forms are intact and that the Zionists couldn't harm them, pointing out that all indicators prove he is saying the truth since the resistance still controls the firing of long range rockets that are striking deep in the Israeli cities, stressing that the capacities of Hezbollah to continue are still very large.

He said: I can confirm without any exaggeration or any psychological warfare that the leadership structure has not been harmed in the violent raid in which they used 22 tonnes of explosives and they thought they made an achievement but this is not true.

Nasrallah challenged if Israel can prove it destroyed one rocket launcher base, pointing to the Israeli lies and claims that talked about shelling trucks carrying rockets ready to be launched. Nasrallah affirmed that the continuation of Israel shelling civilian targets reflects the degree of Israeli military and intelligence failure.

On the ground confrontations, Nasrallah said what is happening on the borders is the beginnings of confrontations, explaining that the resistance men have not exerted lots of efforts so far on the ground, refuting the Israeli claims that talked about destroying fortified posts. He said: These posts were nothing but monitoring posts that were evacuated from the first moment after capturing the Israeli soldiers.

He added: There is difficulty in movement otherwise Hezbollah could have proved what the resistance men achieved through photos of the tanks that have been destroyed and even the enemy admitted that several tanks were destroyed.

Nasrallah said Hezbollah never promised to stop the Israeli aggression from entering the Lebanese lands since Hezbollah is not a classical army but he promised that the occupation army will pay a high price in its tanks and soldiers and properties in case they enter the South Lebanon villages and any entry will be disastrous for the invading army.

Nasrallah said the small number in human losses of the Israeli occupation because the Israelis hide in shelter homes.

Nasrallah thanked the Lebanese people for their position supporting the resistance because this stance will shorten the war because they will realize that the Lebanese people are united against the enemy which means the failure of the Israeli military option.

Nasrallah extended condolences and apologies to the Palestinian family in Nazareth which lost three members of its family in the Hezbollah shelling, stressing that Hezbollah bears full responsibility for this matter and considers them as martyrs of the resistance and struggle and that the shelling wasn't deliberate at that area but came due to the difficult conditions of the war.

On the international positions regarding the military operations, Nasrallah said Hezbollah was not surprised by the position of the international community but he said there is surprise regarding some Arab positions which contributed in prolonging the war. He said: We don't want your hearts or your swords, but stay neutral.

Nasrallah said the goal of the war is to eliminate the Palestinian cause, the resistance factions and struggle.

On the internal political conditions, he stressed that the legitimacy of resistance was taken from the program of the government which granted Hezbollah freedom of resisting the occupation and liberating the Lebanese territories, pointing to the repeated Israeli violations.

Nasrallah affirmed that he posed to some political leaders the possibility of abducting soldiers to end the prisoners file in the occupation prisons, stressing that what is happening in Lebanon today is not a matter of prisoner soldiers only but it deals with disarming the resistance.

He pointed to an American scheme to eliminate Hezbollah and disarm it after they found out that they couldn't achieve this goal through internal hands inside Lebanon which provided an Arab cover for those schemes, explaining that Hezbollah has always engaged in its wars for the higher interests of Lebanon, reminding of the operations that were executed by Hezbollah in this context, denying reports saying that Hezbollah executed operations to serve Iranian and Syrian goals.

Nasrallah pointed out that Hezbollah is the largest popular wing and the largest political wing and the largest military force and Hezbollah never used these factors for the interests of the party. He affirmed that the two Israeli soldiers will never be handed over unless through prisoners exchange.
