Chief of the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah group Hasan Nasrallah has promised in a recent "semi-internal" meeting of his party that retaliation for the assassination of top Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh is coming,local Al-Akhabar Daily reported Wednesday.
"No backing off from the decision to avenge the assassination of Hajj Mughniyeh," Nasrallah was quoted by the daily as saying during the meeting.
"And no backing off from carrying out the big surprise against the enemy," Nasrallah added.
Mughniyeh was killed in a car bomb in Damascus in February. Hezbollah accused Israel of carrying out the assassination, despite Israel's denial of any involvement.
Nasrallah said he promised Israel, "the enemy," with "a big surprise" if it attacks Lebanon. Israeli officials have vowed to destroy the Lebanese infrastructure should Hezbollah carry out any revenge operation against Israel.
"No one will know the time, the place or the way" of avenging Mughniyeh's assassination, Nasrallah said.
