Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah threatened to attack Tel Aviv if Israel were to bomb Beirut's southern suburbs. In a rally where tens of thousands of supporters of Hezbollah gathered to commemorate the third anniversary of the end of the war, Nasrallah said the group was more powerful than before with ''tens of thousands of fighters''. He said, 'The Israelis want to talk about a new equation in any future war that we do not want. They are afraid of a new war but we don't want a new war. They may be afraid but they want a new war. We are not afraid of a new war, but we do not want one. Perhaps this is the difference. We have the right to tell them that if during the July war we said if you attacked Beirut then we will attack Tel Aviv, now we say if you attack Beirut or the southern suburbs, we will attack Tel Aviv. He said, ''If we fought against them in the July war with thousands of fighters, then today we are capable of confronting them with tens of thousands of fighters.
