Hizbullah official Nawaf Mousawi threatened in a May 13, 2024 show on Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah-Lebanon) that Hizbullah would retaliate against Americans wherever they may find them, if Israel invades Lebanon. He said that Israel cannot invade Lebanon without American equipment and an American decision to do so. Nawaf Mousawi is the Hizbullah official in charge of natural resources and borders.
Nawaf Mousawi:"The Israelis cannot bomb Gaza, unless they use American missiles, and they cannot attack Lebanon unless they use American missiles. The moment the Americans decided to launch a war against Lebanon, the Lebanese will have the right to retaliate against the Americans to the best of their ability and wherever they may find them. But today, you cannot present it as if it is the Americans. After all, it is the Israelis who will do it, with the blessing [of America].
"As I’ve said, an Israeli invasion of Lebanon would be [the result of] an American decision. The implementation of [this invasion] will be American and they will participate in it. When the U.S. declares its war against the Lebanese, the Lebanese will have the right to confront the Americans, however they can and wherever they can."
