Lebanon’s Hezbollah chief has said that Israel had dealt an “unprecedented” blow to his group, crossing all red lines with device explosions that killed 37 people and wounded nearly 3,000 over two days, AFP reports.

“With this operation, the enemy crossed all… red lines,” Hassan Nasrallah said in his first televised appearance after the attacks, accusing it of trying to “kill no fewer than 5,000 people” in “a major and unprecedented… blow” to the group.
