Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah's promised retaliation for the assassination of top commander Imad Mughniyeh is reportedly coming soon. The Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, which is close to Hizbullah, said on Wednesday that Nasrallah, at a recent meeting vowed retaliation for Mughniyeh.

 

"No backing off from the decision to avenge the assassination of Hajj Mughniyeh," Nasrallah was quoted as saying during the meeting. "And no backing off from carrying out the 'big surprise' against the enemy," Nasrallah warned.

 

Nasrallah had promised Israel a "big surprise" if it attacked Lebanon.
