TABNAK, Oct, 05: "The Zionists claim that they destroyed Hezbollah by assassinating martyr [Hassan] Nasrallah and other commanders, but the events of the battlefield say that Hezbollah has become stronger and it is dealing heavy blow to the enemy every day," General Mousavi said in an interview with the Yemeni Al Masirah TV on Friday.

"We have lost an important person, but this does not mean that we give up, rather, the blood of the martyr strengthens our capabilities and the enemies will pay a heavy price for this crime," he added more about Martyr Nasrallah.

He added, "If the enemy makes a blunder by responding to the True Promise II operation, we will respond to them and hit them stronger and harsher."

He said that different Resistance forces in the region are more united than ever now.

"Ali Akbar Ahmadian", the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, also told Al-Masirah that "If the Zionist regime acts against Iran and responds to our operations, it will undoubtedly receive a strong response."

The top Iranian security official also hailed the Yemenis for their support to the Palestinians.

The Iranian military launched ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation to a series of assassinations inside Iran and Lebanon on Tuesday night.

Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles at Israel. Missiles were launched from Isfahan, Tabriz, Khoramabad, Karaj, and Arak cities.

The decision to retaliate against Israel was made by Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and after two months of "restraint",  the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement.

Israel assassinated Palestinian Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31. In its massive airstrikes on Beirut, Lebanon, on September 27, Israel also assassinated Iranian Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, who acted as Iranian military advisor in Lebanon, and Lebanese Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

The IRGC has said about 90 percent of the missiles have hit the targets. It added it used hypersonic missiles.
