Nasrallah rejected the idea that Israel was only targeting Hamas, not Hezbollah, with the strikes on Tuesday.
Pinpointing Nasrallah’s true intentions is a challenge, primarily because even he appears uncertain of them.
Maj.-Gen. (res.) Gadi Shamni underscored the importance of a coherent plan and a Gaza blockade, stating, "We lack a strategy for the post-conflict period."
In threats made against the Lebanon-based Hezbollah after remarks by its leader Hassan Nasrallah, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned: "We haven't even 10% of the IAF's power in Gaza."
He also noted that "Israel has not achieved any accomplishment that it can present to its citizens; they are still unable to present an image of 'victory' or an image of 'defeat' to the resistance."
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah is set to speak on Saturday afternoon in his second address since the war began.
Hezbollah has power without responsibility, operating its own mini-administration across the nation with a great degree of impunity.
