He also prepared them for the likelihood of his assassination and the killing of Hezbollah's first line of command in the event of such a war and that they will have to run the war on their own, as they were trained for.
"I may not remain among you for very long; it is possible that the entire first level of leadership could be killed, including myself. Israel may succeed in assassinating many leaders and commanders. The death of some key personalities will not be the end of Hezbollah, because the party doesn't rely merely on individuals but rather on the entire society that is an essential part of its existence", said Sayyed Nasrallah to the gathering.
He added that "measures and procedures have already been taken to be ready even if this extreme case (the killing of top leaders including Sayyed Nasrallah himself) happens."
The team protecting the leader of Hezbollah imposes tight security procedures on any visitor, regardless of rank or function. No mobile phones or personal rings or belongings are allowed; they must be removed before reaching the meeting place. Commanders gather in different locations and are transported in black curtained buses, in small number, for security reasons. At the end of the meeting, his personal security team leaves the place with Sayyed Nasrallah first and the gathering leaves afterwards, driven back to their desired destination.
Comment: The further the Trump administration alienates states like North Korea, Iran and Venezuela, the further that alienation pushes them into the arms of China and Russia. You'd almost think Trump was a Russian asset! Or maybe American politicians are just so idiotic that they're willing to cut off their nose to spite their face, as has happened in Iraq and Syria.
