Nasrallah: Forcing Israel to wait for Iran and Hezbollah's attack is part of the "punishment"

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said that both Iran and Hezbollah would retaliate for the assassinations in Beirut and Iran, but that it was deliberately forcing Israel to be on edge waiting for them.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech today (Tuesday) in which he said that Iran and Hezbollah are taking their time in deciding when and how to respond to the assassinations of Fuad Shukr and Ismail Haniyeh and that making Israel wait is "part of the punishment, part of the response."

Nasrallah also said that all of Israel from north to south now has to stand ready for the response and that Hezbollah has multiple highly valuable economic targets it can destroy "in half an hour."

Nasrallah also said that Hezbollah would be responding by itself and it "did not need" Syria or Iran or other factions of Lebanese society - merely that they not interfere or "stab them in the back."
