Nasrallah: Mughniyeh's trainees will destroy IDF troops who enter Lebanon

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Monday renewed his promise of wreaking vengeance on Israel over the 2008 assassination of the Islamist group's military commander, Imad Mughniyeh.
If the next Israeli government decides to send its army and military brigades into Lebanon's towns and villages, "they will be destroyed at the hands of Imad Mughniyeh's trainees," Nasrallah told a rally gathered to commemorate the first anniversary of the militant's assassination.
"We have fought this struggle against this [Israeli] enemy ... on the basis of surprises," Nasrallah said, drawing cheers from thousands of supporters waving Hezbollah's yellow flags at a complex in the group's stronghold south of Beirut.
"This promise will be fulfilled, God willing...," he said, adding that he would say no more on the matter.
Israel has never confirmed it was behind the car bomb attack, although it welcomed the death of a man who had been on the United States' most wanted list for 25 years.
Mughniyah had been blamed for a wave of Western hostage-taking in Beirut in the 1980s and deadly attacks on U.S. and Israeli targets in Lebanon and beyond.
The leader of the Iranian-backed group also said that Hezbollah has the right to acquire air-defense weapons and to use them against Israeli warplanes that violate Lebanese air space on a daily basis.
These remarks by Nasrallah were the first indication that the group might have already obtained such a system that could inflame tensions with Israel 2-1/2 years after the enemies fought a 34-day war.
"Every few days there is [an Israeli media] report that the resistance has obtained advanced air-defense weapons, of course I don't deny or confirm this," Nasrallah said.
"What I want to confirm today is that we have every right to obtain any weapon, including air-defense weapons, and we have every right to use this weapon," he added.
Nasrallah said obtaining such a system would tip the balance in any conflict with Israel because Israel relies heavily on air supremacy in its military planning.
Nasrallah has been more open about his group's military capabilities since the 2006 war as part of a deterrence strategy.
The group managed to replenish its arsenal and increase the size of its military wing in the months following the 2006 war despite a UN Security Council resolution banning any arms shipments to the group.
Israel has conducted daily overflights of Lebanon, also in breach of the UN resolution, arguing that it needs to monitor Hezbollah's rearming and military movements.

Has Lebanon received the gift of 10 MIGs from Russia yet?

Hopefully, the IAF will let them get into the air first. Propagandawise, I would think that a shootdown of 10 Iranian trained fighter pilots would be more of a humiliating defeat.

I'm looking forward to the day when a successor demands revenge for the death of Hassan Nasrallah.

Israel will clean their clock like they did with Hamas, which made a big deal about being trained by Iran too.

Or a missile slamming into his limousine; personally, I would sit in a car driven by Ted Kennedy before I accepted a ride with Nassrallah.
Hell; I wouldn't get up out of the electric chair to take a seat alongside him.

Somehow, when I hear 'Hez' and 'Air Defense Weapons' I think MANPADS and ZPU-series AA guns....

Hez is an actual organized military force.... They have artilery, anti-tank missiles, and are trained to operate as a modern light-infantry force....
Hamas is a bunch of terrorist thugs with bombs & home-made arty rockets...
Which is why Hamas got Zombie Stomped, and Hez actually put up a decent fight the last time (to the tune of a good number of Izzies dead)....
Hez is NOT an enemy to be underestimated....
