Addressing supporters south of Beirut, Hezbollah’s leader has threatened to attack ships heading to Israel’s Mediterranean coast in any future war. Hassan Nasrallah said any such Israeli military, civilian or commercial vessel would come under fire, if Israel imposes a fresh sea blockade on Lebanon. Hezbollah vows to bomb Israeli ships The Shi’ite group’s leader was speaking via video link at a rally marking 10 years since Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanese territory. “We are capable of targeting, striking and destroying your ships as they head to any port on the coast of occupied Palestine from north to south,” he said. During its war against Hezbollah in 2006, Israel imposed an air and sea embargo on Lebanon. It said this was to prevent arms getting to the group. Some 1,200 people in Lebanon, mostly civilians, were killed in the month-long conflict while 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers, also died. Tensions have risen in the region recently after Israel accused Syria of supplying Hezbollah with Scud missiles, something Damascus denies.
