00:00The leader of the Hezbollah group has died, the Israeli army announced on the X-socialization platform.

00:05Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world, IDF wrote.

00:09The group, supported by Iran, has not responded yet.

00:12Hassan Nasrallah was killed in Israeli air strikes over Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

00:17They started yesterday and continued today.

00:20The international press writes that Nasrallah, at the age of 64, was in a bunker under the main headquarters of Hezbollah in Beirut.

00:28When the Israeli warplanes launched the attack.

00:31The Israeli forces also confirmed that they killed Mohammad Ali Ismail,

00:36commander of the Hezbollah missile unit in southern Lebanon, as well as his assistant, but also other commanders.

00:43Nasrallah was a founding member of the militant group supported by Iran

00:47and served as its leader since 1992, when his predecessor was killed in an Israeli attack.

00:56We are discussing the subject, ladies and gentlemen, right now at Euromews.

00:59With me is Euromews journalist Cătălin Lența.

01:02Good afternoon, Cătălin, thank you for your presence.

01:05Welcome, here is a real turnaround of the situation.

01:08Because I knew about yesterday's bombings, which targeted the headquarters of the Hezbollah group,

01:15but there was information that Hassan Nasrallah would come to life.

01:19This is what a large intelligence agency, Reuters, said.

01:22Today, however, we have this information provided by the Israeli army,

01:27which in general does not play with statements in this field.

01:31Plus, I would like to add information from a source close to Hezbollah,

01:36which confirms that it lost contact with Hassan Nasrallah on Friday night.

01:41What does this mean?

01:43It means that we probably have to believe the declarations made by the IDF,

01:48by the Israeli army, that it would have managed to liquidate the supreme leader of the Shiite group.

01:55The group is declared a terrorist as a military branch,

01:58but not a dialogue partner in terms of the political branch.

02:04Cătălin, a big plea, a big plea, please, help us understand the event,

02:09so we can imagine what is next.

02:12In the conditions in which Hezbollah also resisted the attacks from Israel,

02:17what do we expect now?

02:19It is an extremely complicated and tense situation in the area.

02:23We know that for almost a year, on October 7th,

02:27there has been a war in the Gaza Strip.

02:29Even on the first day of the attack on October 7th last year,

02:33the Hezbollah group declared its solidarity with Hamas and launched attacks.

02:38Since then, there have always been fights,

02:41the truth is not of great magnitude, between Hezbollah and Israel,

02:45in the north of Israel or across the border, in Beirut, for example,

02:50where Israel hit and killed the important leader of Hezbollah.

02:54Unfortunately, everyone is waiting for an amplification of the conflict.

02:59Hezbollah has promised countless times that it will intervene strongly when the situation worsens,

03:05and the killing of the supreme leader, also supported by Iran, another great regional power,

03:10can only make us believe that Hezbollah will react violently.

03:15It is an organization that has between 100 and 150,000 well-trained fighters,

03:21much more well-trained than those from Hamas,

03:24equipped with rockets, drones, and artillery ammunition.

03:31And we have seen lately that they have launched powerful attacks in the north of Israel.

03:37Israel has responded because there is never peace there, since the State of Israel was formed.

03:43You were talking, Cătălin, about the capabilities and how numerous is the army led by this group.

03:52Now I ask, is it stronger? Could it be stronger than the renowned Israeli army?

03:59No, it's hard for me to believe.

04:01The ratio is at least one out of ten Hezbollah members in the Israeli army.

04:06An army, let's not forget, ultra-professional, which has a large base of volunteers,

04:12who are called whenever needed.

04:14There are 500-600,000 people who can be called to arms at any time.

04:19Likewise, any Israeli makes the army.

04:22Both men and women are ready to fight at any time.

04:26No matter how many weapons Hezbollah would have,

04:29we cannot talk about a clear comparison in favor of Hezbollah in this field.

04:36No matter how many weapons it would receive from Iran,

04:38no matter how many rockets it would have.

04:40I recently saw the launch of a ballistic missile towards Israel.

04:43It's hard to believe that Israel can't do this.

04:47Besides, we had wars in the area,

04:49and Israel is the one that won all the wars in the Middle East.

04:54I have one more request, Cătălin, to contextualize a little.

04:57Because this news comes in the conditions in which yesterday,

05:00while he was at the General Assembly of the United Nations in the United States,

05:05Benjamin Netanyahu approved these attacks, which started yesterday and continued today.

05:11It is not clear to us the exact moment when Nasrallah could have been eliminated.

05:15What happened at the UN, the Israeli Prime Minister said once again,

05:19that these fights will not end,

05:22in the conditions in which the United States, the European Union and about 10 other allied countries

05:27have asked the two parties, Israel and Hezbollah,

05:31to stop for at least 21 days in order to negotiate peace.

05:35The United States, Cătălin, seemed to be taking a step back

05:38in support of Israel's usual agreement,

05:41precisely because it would not be satisfied with the attitude it has in Gaza

05:45and now regarding these attacks with Hezbollah.

05:49How will America position itself now?

05:52Well, let's not forget that these are political statements

05:55that obviously take into account human rights.

05:58That there are Palestinians, that there are Israelis,

06:00no one in the United States has ever denied the existential right of Israel.

06:05The right to simply defend its existence.

06:08That there may be some delays or delays in the delivery of weapons,

06:13as the UK did, for example, with the weapons intended for Israel,

06:18no one doubts that.

06:19But Israel is not preparing for war today or tomorrow.

06:23Its preparation was made in years, in decades.

06:26There are contracts underway in Moscow.

06:28At some point, these go to the end.

06:31Let's look at how much Israel is there in the area.

06:35It's like a nail on a map.

06:37We can realize this.

06:39But it is so well armed and well prepared

06:41that I don't think that a possible political statement

06:46in this period could change the course of the war.

06:49Cătălindă, I am not referring only to the new aid announced by the United States,

06:53the 8 billion.

06:55I am referring to the possible support for the future of actions

07:00from the Middle East, supported by Israel.

07:03Because I saw official statements from the United States.

07:06They said, of course, Israel maintains its right to defend itself,

07:09but it is very important how it does it.

07:12Well, let's not forget where the war started.

07:15From the killing of 1,200 Israelis

07:18and the kidnapping of several hundreds,

07:20of which probably half were released

07:23and about 50 are still alive.

07:25This is the estimate.

07:26So no one can deny the right of Israel to bring back its citizens,

07:30to ensure the peace of the citizens of the north of the country.

07:34That there will be declarations of condemnation of violent actions.

07:39Such things have happened so far,

07:42regarding the humanitarian situation of those in Gaza Strip.

07:45Let's not forget that there are about 2 million people

07:48who are walking from one side to the other in the form of refugees.

07:51They have no food, they have no medicine, they have nothing.

07:54And this time, of course, there will be a condemnation,

07:58as strong as possible.

08:00Especially since Hassan Nasrallah was a prominent leader worldwide.

08:04But I don't think that at some point

08:07someone will leave Israel, for example,

08:10without weapons, without ammunition,

08:12at the hands of all the groups around,

08:15whether they are terrorists or not,

08:17who swore to make the State of Israel disappear.

08:20The United States has a vital interest

08:22in the existence of Israel on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean,

08:26in the eastern part of the Mediterranean.

08:28So regardless of declarations, of condemnations,

08:31this international solidarity will remain,

08:35regardless of whether we will see it or not.
