PanARMENIAN.Net - Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah Lebanese radical grouping, has promised a "full-scale war" to Israel. He said, "You wanted open war, you will get it." He also emphasized, "neither rules, nor agreements are in effect any more," reports EuroNews. This statement followed after Arab TV channels broadcasting the Israeli aircraft bombing of Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut past Friday.



After the air attack Hezbollah supporters erected their flag on handrails of a bridge situated near the headquarters and also destroyed by Israelis. Some 70 persons on the Lebanese side and over 10 on the Israeli one fell victim of the conflict, which broke out 3 days ago.



Israel had launched a military operation after fighters of Hezbollah, which controls south Lebanon, kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. Israeli PM Ehud Olmert viewed this act as declaration of war. Israeli aircraft, battleships and artillery have bombed Beirut international airport and two military airdromes, bridges and roads in the south of Lebanon, military objects of Hezbollah. Lebanon is practically fully isolated.
