“If the result is not enough, then we retain the right to respond another time,” Nasrallah said.
Hezbollah fighters had successfully launched a volley of more than 300 Katyusha rockets to distract Israel’s Iron Dome defences before sending attack drones, he said.
They included drones fired from the eastern Bekaa Valley, a first for the group, he said. None of the drone or rocket launchers were damaged in Israel’s pre-emptive strikes, he said.
Nasrallah said Hezbollah had not planned a larger attack, specifically denying Israeli military statements that the group had intended to fire thousands of projectiles.
But he acknowledged that the operation had been delayed for several reasons, including what he called a “mobilization” of Israeli and American military assets in the region.
