Hizballah ready to confront Israels invasion of Lebanon as it did in 2006, with Roqayah Chamseddine
On 27 September, Israel carried out an apocalyptic bombing attack on Beiruts southern suburb, killing Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, the secretarygeneral of the Lebanese resistance group Hizballah. Many civilians were killed in the massive bombing that destroyed multiple residential buildings in the densely populated Dahiya neighborhood. A towering figure, Nasrallahs death is a severe blow to supporters of the Axis of Resistance. The strike, praised and supported by the United States, gave Israel a surge of confidence after a year of military failure in Gaza. We speak to Roqayah Chamseddine in Beirut about Israels killing of Nasrallah and the situation in Lebanon as Israel escalates its bombardment of the country and Hizballah defends it against a possible Israeli invasion. Roqayah is a Southern Lebanese researcher and reporter and cohost of the Delete Your Account podcast. This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada s day 362 livestream. Ali Abunimah, Nora BarrowsF
