BEIRUT (AP) � The leader of Lebanon�s Hezbollah group warns his fighters will attack Israeli ships if the Jewish state imposes a sea blockade on Lebanon in any future war.
Hassan Nasrallah says his Iranian-backed group is now capable of destroying any military or commercial ships heading to Israeli ports.
Israel imposed a sea and air embargo on Lebanon during its monthlong war against Hezbollah in 2006, saying it needed to prevent the guerrillas from being resupplied with weapons.
Nasrallah said yesterday that Hezbollah now had the capability to inflict as much harm on Israel as it did in Lebanon during the 2006 war.
He spoke to supporters via satellite at a huge rally south of Beirut.
