Hezbollah Leader Warns Of Israeli Border Conflict

BEIRUT — Hezbollah's leader told his Shiite guerrilla group Wednesday to be prepared to invade northern Israel, a day after Israel's defense minister warned that the quiet along the tense border could erupt into violence. The comments by the two sides illustrate the fragile situation along the frontier since Israel and Hezbollah fought a bitter, six-week war in the summer of 2006. The conflict ended in a U.N.-brokered truce but officials on both sides of the border believe it is only a matter of time before hostilities resume.

"I tell the holy warriors of the Islamic Resistance to be ready for a day when, if war is imposed on. The decision is still ours and, God willing, it will be carried out. I tell Zionist leaders and generals to 'be careful for your heads wherever you go in the world and whenever you go.'" Nasrallah said. "Imad Mughniyeh's blood will not be wasted." The Hezbollah leader was repeatedly interrupted by hundreds of supporters who waved their fists while chanting "at your service Nasrallah."

On Tuesday, Israeli officials said the Jewish state temporarily closed at least four diplomatic missions abroad in response to threats against Israeli targets overseas.
The threats appeared to be tied to the anniversary of Mughniyeh's death. Also Wednesday, a Hezbollah cell commander who escaped from an Egyptian prison during the country's recent uprising appeared at the Hezbollah rally. Mohammed Youssef Mansour, better known as Sami Chehab, held up a Hezbollah flag and raised his hands in a V-for-victory sign Wednesday during the rally in Beirut.

The Shiite militant group says that Mansour was among the thousands of prisoners across Egypt who are believed to have escaped or been set free shortly after the revolt against longtime President Hosni Mubarak erupted Jan. 25. But this was his first public appearance. Mansour was convicted in 2010 along with 25 others of spying for Hezbollah and plotting attacks in Egypt.
