Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday silence over last week’s Megiddo bombing in northern Israel that killed one person was part of the warfare with Tel Aviv. Israel said an infiltrator from Lebanon had planted a roadside bomb in Megiddo that injured an Israeli. The suspect was shot dead by Israeli forces. The Israeli army identified the suspect as a Palestinian refugee from Lebanon. ‘Our silence is part of the political and psychological warfare with the enemy,’ Nasrallah said in a televised speech. The Hezbollah chief vowed to respond to any assault on the Lebanese territories. ‘Any military or security Zionist attack on Lebanon will be met with a fast response from the resistance,’ he said. Hezbollah fought several wars with Israel, the latest of which was in 2006 during which the Lebanese group struck major Israeli cities with rockets, causing significant material damage. Over 1,000 Lebanese were killed in the conflict, while much of southern Lebanon – a Hezbollah stronghold – was devastated by Israeli attacks.
