THE THREAT OF HIZBULLAH

Nasrallah: We can hit all areas of north Israel (YNet)
The leader of Lebanon's terror group Hizbullah warned Israel on Tuesday that it would answer any attack on its territory by firing thousands of rockets on all parts of northern Israel.

Hassan Nasrallah's comments were made as part of Lebanon's celebrations of the 6th anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon after an 18-year occupation.

"What deters the enemy from launching an aggression is the resistance's continuous readiness to respond," the black-turbaned Nasrallah told scores of people who gathered in a Beirut hotel.

"Northern Israel today is within the range of the resistance's rockets. The ports, bases, factories and everything is within that range."
