"... Commenting on the recent positions of
Sayyed Nasrallah, the newspaper’s report mentioned that Israel tends to
undermine the Arab leaders positions. “Yet it seems that there are exceptional
leaders in the Middle East as it’s the case with Sayyed Nasrallah whom we have
to listen to carefully if he threatens.”
The report also stressed that “Nasrallah
fulfills his commitments and threats, and what he says exactly matches with what
he does.” The writer pointed that Nassrallah actually repeated the threats that
Assad had issued in the aftermath of the Israeli air strikes in Damascus which
implied the transformation of the Golan Heights into a popular resistance
square. Yet “when Nasrallah and Al-Assad issue the same threats, we have to take
the issue more seriously.”
Fishman quoted the Israeli army Colonel Ronen
Cohen who is the author of “The Rhetoric of Hassan Nasrallah during the Second
Lebanon War” book.
“Many of Nasrallah’s speeches are dedicated to
propaganda, psychological warfare, and the strategic issues. Yet there are a
number of details related to executive and operational issues,” Ronen
said.
The writer added that all the threats issued by
Nasrallah during 2006 July War used to be implemented within 24 hours, yet the
time of peace is more complicated because the threats are not necessarily carried out
immediately.
The Israeli officer also told Yedioth Ahronoth that
Nasrallah was clear when he stressed that Hezbollah would help the resistance in
the Golan Heights, so “we have to check his intentions, whether he implies
logistic help, training, or other possibilities.” Nevertheless, Col. Cohen
stressed the need to be aware now that “Hezbollah started to set his foot on the
Syrian-Zionist borders, exactly as he set its hands and feet in Sinai and Gaza
Strip."
