The Hezbollah secretary general has congratulated all the Muslims on the Palestinian resistance fighters’ recent victory over Zionist regime, saying that Tel Aviv failed to achieve its goals in its eight-day offensive in the Gaza Strip.

“Once again blood triumphed over the sword,” Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech on Friday.

Nasrallah stated that the Zionist regime failed to achieve any of its goals, saying, "Netanyahu did not set high goals for this war; he set low goals so that he would achieve them and announce his victory, but even these he failed to achieve."

He pointed out that "the first goal was to destroy the Palestinian resistance's leadership. He failed in this respect. The second goal was to destroy the resistance's missile system. He also failed (to achieve this goal). The third goal was to reinforce Israel's deterrence power. The (Gaza) war rather weakened this power."

He went on to say that the assassination of Hamas commander Ahmed al-Jabari is a big loss, but the resistance movements no longer depend on individuals.

The Hezbollah chief said Palestinian fighters managed to fire as many as 200 rockets a day from Gaza into the Zionists occupied territories during the war.
