Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will make a televised address Friday, Hezbollah said in a statement, in his first appearance since the breakout of the war in Gaza and the confrontations in south Lebanon.
The statement said Nasrallah will speak during a ceremony commemorating “the martyrs who ascended on the path to Jerusalem in defense of Gaza, the Palestinian people and the holy sites.”
Hezbollah MP Hussein al-Hajj Hassan had earlier made a buzz on social media by posting a video showing Nasrallah passing in front of a Hezbollah flag without looking at the camera.
“God does not break his promise,” Hajj Hassan said in the video’s caption, using a Quran verse.
Around 50 Hezbollah fighters have been killed in south Lebanon since the start of the confrontations with the Israeli army on October 8 — a day after Hamas launched its shock attack on Israel.
