Tasnim - Leader of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah said the group will give a firm response to any potential Israeli attacks against Lebanon.

In an interview with Lebanon�s Noor Radio on Tuesday, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah called the Zionist regime a cancerous entity with no credibility in the region.

�Israel aims to occupy entire Palestine and according to this scheme, Jordan is an alternative home for the Palestinian people,� he was quoted as saying by the website of Al Manar TV.

He further said that Tel Aviv lacks the courage to wage another war on Lebanon, given the Muslim country�s defensive might.

�We warn Israel against committing a folly by launching the great war, all factions of the axis of resistance could engage in such a war,� Nasrallah said, according to Press TV.

The Hezbollah leader vowed a firm response to any attacks by the Israeli military, noting that the fake and racist entity would not manage to survive.

�We neither want a civil war nor want to rule the country,� he said. �We retaliate to any attack on our fighters everywhere.�

Nasrallah further lambasted the US military presence in the region, asserting that it �indicates the weakness of its allies� in West Asia.

On Monday, the second-in-command of Lebanon�s Hezbollah resistance movement hailed the 2000 liberation of southern Lebanon from the Israeli occupation as a �turning point� in the history of the region.

�We have moved from the stage of despair to hope, from surrender to resistance, from humiliation to honor, and from defeat to victory,� Sheikh Naim Qassem said.
