Hizbullah's Executive Council Chief Sayyed Hashem Safiyyeddine warned "Israeli" war Minister Ehud Barak that he will discover that the 2006 war on Lebanon was nothing but a bit of fun if the "Israeli" occupation army made the stupid mistake of attacking Lebanon again.

"If Barak's threats are serious -- and I don't think they are -- he should be aware that if he commits an error or stupid act against Lebanon... he will discover that the months of July and August 2006 were just a bit of fun," his eminence said.

Speaking a ceremony in south Lebanon, Sayyed Safiyyeddine said: "We have never, and we will never seek war. However the rule that we've adopted to keep the war away from our country is that we have to be strong."

Barak said on Thursday that the Jewish state would use "all necessary force" if there was a fresh conflict on its northern border with Lebanon. He charged that Hizbullah has stockpiled 40,000 rockets.

Lieutenant General Gaby Ashkenazi, head of "Israel's" armed forces, warned last month against a military conflict with Lebanon, saying Hezbollah's weapons stockpile poses a "serious" threat to "Israel".

"Based on the fact that we are strong today and we have been living on the formula and the victory of the 2006 war, we believe that all of the "Israeli" threats are hollow and meaningless. On the other hand, what is happening in the region and in Lebanon in particular, pertaining to the attempts to target the resistance and its position, it has been proven that of those schemes have fallen down...All of the United States' political projects to curb the resistance and take vengeance on it have also fallen down and therefore, there is no need to be worried...For some political players in Lebanon who do not want to perceive this fat, this is their problem not the problem of most of the Lebanese who have reached a political agreement that can be founded on in order to pull Lebanon out of its problems and crises. The Lebanese must differentiate between their friend and their enemy and they have to know how to set their political priorities," Sayyed Safiyyeddine said.
