Iraqi group backs Nasrallah’s ‘equation of deterrence,’ sternly warns Israel
Iraq’s Kata’ib Hezbollah resistance group has warned Israel against conducting any act of aggression against holy sites in occupied al-Quds, vowing to bring “humiliation,” “defeat,” and “insecurity” on the regime if it fails to heed the warning.
“The people of the region are now convinced that they will not be safe in the face of this enemy (Israel), and the destruction of this regime will be the beginning of new stages in the spread of true Islam and peace throughout the region,” Kata’ib Hezbollah said in a statement on Wednesday.
The Iraqi resistance group reaffirmed its commitment to protecting Islam’s sanctities and pledged allegiance to the “equation of deterrence” set out by Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance group’s secretary general.
“With God’s help, [the group] will make the Zionists taste humiliation, defeat, insecurity and inability,” in the same way that their “American masters” were dealt with, it added.
The statement came in response to Nasrallah’s remarks after the conclusion of Israel’s war against the Gaza Strip last month, when he warned Israel that any aggression on holy sites in occupied al-Quds would lead to a regional war and the destruction of the Tel Aviv regime.
“You must know that harming [al-Quds], al-Aqsa Mosque, and the nation’s sanctities is different from any other aggression you carry out,” Nasrallah warned the Israeli regime in a televised speech on May 5. “Harming al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy sites will not stop at the borders of the Gaza resistance, and will lead to a regional war and Israel’s destruction.”
In its Wednesday statement, Kata’ib Hezbollah said the Zionist regime has, over the past decades, tried to impose a new security equation under which it confronts any power that threatens its unlawful existence inside and outside the occupied Palestinian territory.
It said Israel has indulged in attacking the Palestinian people and committing heinous crimes against the people of the region with the support of the United States and its allied “treacherous” rulers in the region.
