The statement by Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah, against the Republic of Cyprus, unfortunately, is not without basis and does not stem from any prejudice.

The statement by the Hezbollah leader is the result of the ongoing stance taken by the Cypriot government, which has unreservedly supported "israel" by all means since the first day of the war.

The fact that the British bases in Cyprus are a stronghold against the people of Palestine and Yemen, and all the peoples targeted by the murderous NATO alliance, is known to everyone.

We call on the government to stop cooperating with "israel," as Cyprus is directly involved in the massacre in Gaza.

Cyprus provides facilities for "israel," with the use of airports and ports, and military training of the "israeli" army on our land.

The cooperation between "israel" and Cyprus is well known, and one does not need the statements of the Hezbollah leader to know what is happening.

We will work to disengage our country from the massacre in Palestine, the imperialist interventions, and to close all death bases and withdraw all foreign armies.

Sirens in Cyprus: Why did Hezbollah threaten Cyprus?

In Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's most recent speech, he issued a threat against Cyprus, marking the first time that Hezbollah threatened an entity besides "israel" or the US.

This threat did not come out nowhere, but is rooted in long-standing cooperation between Cyprus and the zionist entity, such as several joint military exercises since 2014 in support of the entity's military actions.

In 2017, 700 IOF soldiers trained in the Troodos mountains in Cyprus, which are "similar to Lebanese terrain." A 2022 exercise saw the IOF run exercises in Cyprus simulating a ground attack on Lebanon; this included soldiers from naval units and the 98th Division, which participated in the Nusseirat massacre and withdrew from Gaza two weeks ago. In May 2023, the IOF again conducted exercises in Cyprus to simulate an attack on Lebanon. All of this is well documented in zionist media, whose military experts stated in 2019 that "Cyprus is a copy of Lebanon: mountains, plants, and the necessity of working between civilians." Cypriot military leaders have also visited occupied Palestine to meet with soldiers and conduct trainings.

A large-scale IOF attack on Lebanon would likely involve a naval landing operation on Lebanon's shores launched from Cyprus, coinciding with a ground and air aggression.

Further, Cyprus serves as a launching pad for imperialist aggression against the region. There are two British military bases on Cyprus, which occupy 3% of the island. These bases are 185 and 240 kilometers from Beirut, closer than the zionist entity's "Dimona" nuclear facility in southern occupied Palestine and well within the range of Hezbollah's precision missiles.

As of May 8th, the British military has flown over 200 spy missions over Gaza in support of the zionist entity. Presumably, all of these missions took off from the Cyprus bases.

Nasrallah's threat coincided with a visit by a Cypriot intelligence delegation to Beirut to discuss immigration. Following the speech, the delegation quickly pivoted to meet with Lebanon's General Directorate of General Security, to assert that Cyprus would not permit its territory to be used to threaten Lebanon. However, the two British bases on Cyprus are completely under British control, and not considered Cypriot territory.

Hezbollah's stance is backed by popular calls within Cyprus to sever cooperation with the zionist entity, withdraw from imperialist interventions, and close foreign military bases on the island, underscoring deep opposition to Cyprus' complicity in imperialist aggression in the region.

Thus, Hezbollah's threat against Cyprus is a direct response to its cooperation with the zionist entity and its role in facilitating imperialist military actions in the region. The critical question is: Who is the aggressor? The entity that offers its land and airspace to a genocidal military for increased aggression, or the nation rising in defense of Palestine and firmly asserting its sovereignty? It becomes clear that the warning was an obligation, not a choice, in the face of Cyprus' actions threatening regional stability and the zionist entity dragging it into matters that do not concern it, jeopardizing its own security.

Mousa Hjeij has ascended to martyrdom after succumbing to injuries sustained in the IOF airstrike carried on Al-Borgholiya in southern Lebanon a week ago.

Glory to the martyrs.

⚫️ Deputy Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement Dr. Mohammed Al-Hindi to Al-Jazeera:
—
Netanyahu's position is that he wants to continue the war and aggression.

A deal to retrieve the prisoners can only be reached by stopping the aggression and complete withdrawal.

Netanyahu does not want to stop the war for political and ideological reasons.

Netanyahu can be pressured, especially in the battlefield.

"Israel" will be drained and will not solve any problem even if it moves to the third phase.

"Israel" will not achieve any accomplishments as long as it insists on not stopping its operations and withdrawing.

What is decided in the [battle] field will be reflected in the negotiations and politics.

We continue to negotiate and have not closed its door, and the obstacle is Netanyahu's delusion that he is achieving success.

Zionist sources published the damage to a building in the "Metulla" settlement following the rocket attack by Hezbollah last Saturday.

🚨 An anti-tank missile was launched from Lebanon towards the "Yir'on" settlement in northern occupied Palestine, without the sounding of sirens, where a direct hit was observed in a military target.

🚨 The "Barzilai Medical Center" in occupied Asqalan reported receiving 5 injuries following the rockets fired by Saraya Al-Quds.
