Beirut, (SANA - Syrian news agency)- Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed
Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday said when in 2000 the Resistance put the last
nail in the coffin of the geographically extending Israel, targeting the
Resistance moved to a new stage as the Israelis and Americans said at the
time they would not stand still on a resistance which caused their defeat.

"At that time, targeting the Resistance was through bringing it into
confrontation with the international community. Later, Resolution 1559 was
issued as a response to this victory," said Nasrallah in a speech marking
Martyr's Day broadcast on al-Manar satellite channel.

He stressed Israel's involvement in issuing the resolution, proved by the
statement of Salvan Shalom when he then said "we want to put Hezbollah and
the Resistance in Lebanon into confrontation with the international
community."

"Those who might think that the Resistance will allow arresting any of its
members are mistaken…the hand which will reach out to any of them will be
cut off…the Resistance will defend itself against any accusation in the way
it chooses," added Nasrallah.

Hezbollah Secretary General continued to say that "who want justice and
truth regarding the issue of the assassination of former Lebanese Premier
Rafiq al-Hariri should work on prosecuting the false witnesses along with
those who made and fabricated them."

"The file of false witnesses will lead to the largest political scandal in
Lebanon. This is why they are being protected so that their fabricators will
be protected," Nasrallah added.

Nasrallah referred to the good and true initiative made by King Abdullah bin
Abdul-Aziz Al Saud and his visit to Damascus as well as his joint visit with
President Bashar al-Assad to hold the tripartite summit in Lebanon with
President Michel Sleiman.

"The Syrian-Saudi efforts are very serious... there are great and genuine
aspirations based on these continued efforts…. Any results of the
Syrian-Saudi efforts accepted by the Lebanese concerned parties will be
supported by Iran," Nasrallah added.
