In a televised speech on January 30, 2015, during a ceremony "commemorating the Quneitra martyrs," Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said: "We no longer recognize the rules of engagement... We no longer accept the separation of the battle fronts.
Following are excerpts:
Hassan Nasrallah: If the Israeli enemy believes that the resistance has been deterred, and that it fears war, let me say today, as we commemorate the Quneitra martyrs, and after the high-profile operation in the Shebaa Farms, that the enemy is hereby informed that we do not fear war, that we will not hesitate to wage this war if it is imposed upon us, and that we will prevail in it, Allah willing.
Crowd: We respond to your call, oh Nasrallah.
We respond to your call, oh Nasrallah.
We respond to your call, oh Nasrallah.
We respond to your call, oh Nasrallah.

Hassan Nasrallah: We in the Islamic resistance in Lebanon no longer care about the rules of engagement. We no longer recognize the rules of engagement. It's over. There are no rules of engagement when one confronts aggression and assassinations. We no longer accept the separation of the battle fronts. Get it? We have the legitimate, moral, legal, and human right – and even according to international law, if anyone wants to argue legalities with us… We have the right to respond to any kind of aggression, anywhere, with any kind of confrontation, anywhere and any time.
Crowd: We respond to your call, oh Nasrallah.
We respond to your call, oh Nasrallah.
