As Israel’s offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon intensifies, the Iran-backed group released a recorded message from its late leader Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday. In the video, an audio recording from Nasrallah urges supporters to defend their people, family, nation, values, and dignity, emphasizing the importance of protecting the land and seeking divine justice.
The timing of the message's recording remains unclear, but its release highlights Hezbollah's resolve to continue the fight against Israel despite the ongoing offensive. Hezbollah has been launching rockets into Israel, with the Israeli military reporting 115 rockets fired as of 3 p.m. local time on Sunday.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for more than 25 attacks on Israeli army bases and gatherings of soldiers in northern Israel and southern Lebanon, engaging in close combat with Israeli forces. The militant group also issued a warning to Israeli citizens to avoid military areas.
The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated in recent weeks, with Israel conducting a ground incursion into Lebanon. The release of Nasrallah's message underscores Hezbollah's commitment to resisting Israeli aggression and defending its interests in the region.
