Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah delivered a televised speech on Tuesday in which he tackled the latest developments specifically after the Saudi escalation and threats against Lebanon.
During his speech, Sayyed Nasrallah denounced the crimes Saudi Arabia is committing in Yemen and against the Yemeni people.
He stressed that if turning a blind eye to the Saudi war would be giving legitimacy for waging any war in the Arab and Islamic world.
"This is our crime which we are proud of... throughout my life I have done the good and the bad, but if I was asked about the most honorable thing that I have done, I would say it was delivering that speech on the second day of the Saudi war on Yemen. This is Jihad, because I am saying the truthful word, and this Yemeni people is so oppressed that it overcame the Palestinian people with its oppression. There is no oppression today like the one in Yemen".
"We reached a point with the Saudi crimes in the Yemen war where we could no longer be silent", Sayyed Nasrallah adds.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 8,300 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
