Iran Press/Middle East: Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, in his speech on the occasion of the beginning of the month of Muharram in southern Beirut on Saturday evening, said Israeli regime's prime minister Netanyahu has claimed responsibility for his aggression in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
In his Saturday speech, Nasrallah vowed to retaliate "at all costs" and target Israeli drones, which often operate in Lebanese airspace, Al Mayadeen news network reported.
"The response will be open... from Lebanon," he said, "in the Shebaa Farms or anywhere on the border".
In a rare incident on Wednesday, the Lebanese army opened fire on Israeli drones that had violated Lebanon's southern airspace, forcing the unmanned aircraft to return back across the border.
Drones like the ones used in the Beirut attack last weekend "open the door to assassinations" if left unanswered, Nasrallah said. "This matter will not be tolerated ... Israel must pay the price."
In response to recent Israeli claims that Hezbollah was working with Iran to build a missile production line, Nasrallah said the accusations were a "lie" and a "hanger" to justify Israeli aggression against Lebanon.
"We do not have factories to produce precision-guided missiles in Lebanon," Nasrallah said.
He added Hezbollah already has enough precision-missiles for any confrontation "small or big", without needing to build factories to produce more.
Shortly before Nasrallah spoke, Israel’s army announced that it had ordered extra forces to deploy to the "northern command" along the border with Lebanon, further upping the ante.
