Hezbollah has that tens of thousands of its members are ready to fight Israel, adding that the US election result would have no bearing on the fighting in Lebanon, AFP reports.

The group’s leader also warned that nowhere in Israel would be “off-limits” to attacks, as the Israeli military said about 120 projectiles had been fired across the border. The Israeli military struck Hezbollah’s main bastion of south Beirut after issuing an evacuation warning.

“We have tens of thousands of trained resistance combatants” ready to fight, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said in a televised speech marking 40 days since his predecessor Hassan Nasrallah was killed in a strike.

The address was aired after Donald Trump’s victory in the US election was announced but had been recorded earlier.
