Dossier: Hassan Nasrallah (February-March 2004) Hassan Nasrallah was born in 1960 in the Bourj Hammoud neighborhood of East Beirut, but his family was originally from Bassouriyeh, a village near the city of Tyre in south Lebanon. However, while Nasrallah cannot claim full credit for Hezbollah's performance on the battlefield, he was largely responsible for its sophisticated use of psychological warfare to prod Israeli public opinion, which typically is not "softened" by casualties alone (the hardening of sentiments amid unprecedented civilian deaths during the current Palestinian intifadah is a testament to this). The September 1997 death in combat of Nasrallah's eighteen-year-old son, Hadi, was a public relations bonanza in a country where the sons of politicians typically avoid the draft. www.meib.org /articles/0402_ld.htm   (5178 words)

Nasrallah found himself in the minority, and later that year he was sent back to Iran to serve as Hezbollah's representative in Tehran, though experts say this was likely an effort to sideline him.

The Return of Hizbullah - Middle East Quarterly This is especially true of its secretary general, Hasan Nasrallah, who now sees himself as a hero on a divine mission—due in part to his portrayal as a Shi‘ite mastermind in the Israeli and Western media. Nasrallah has set the tone, claiming that "Israel, which has both nuclear power and the strongest air force in the region, is weaker than a spider's web."[8] At the height of the Palestinian suicide bombing campaign in March 2002, Sheikh Nabil Qa‘uk, Hizbullah's commander in south Lebanon, determined that "Israel is exploding from the inside. As Nasrallah put it: "The intifada in Palestine today is our front line, so that our support is not only an obligation but also a necessity, and we have, therefore, taken it upon ourselves to aid the intifada, not only in words but in deeds."[18] www.meforum.org /article/499   (4114 words)

CNN.com - Hezbollah leader apologizes for attack's child victims - Jul 20, 2006 In a Thursday interview with Arabic-language news network Al-Jazeera, Nasrallah accepted responsibility for the Wednesday attack, while conceding that an apology to the family was not sufficient. Despite Israeli claims to the contrary, Nasrallah said the attacks have failed to faze Hezbollah politically or militarily. Nasrallah said several times that Israel is a formidable opponent, especially considering that it possesses "the most powerful air force in the Middle East and one of the most powerful in the world, and they own the skies." www.cnn.com /2006/WORLD/meast/07/20/nasrallah.interview/index.html   (870 words)

ZNet |Mideast | Meeting Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah: 'Encounter with a fighter' There was also a review by Adam Shatz of several books on Hizbullah, for which he interviewed Nasrallah on a trip to Lebanon in October 2003.[6] Although too prone to pass judgement reflecting his own biases,[7] Shatz nonetheless quoted Nasrallah on several issues on which Hizbullah had been persistently misrepresented. Security at the entrance of the building where Nasrallah's office was located, and around it, was extremely high, in sharp contrast with the lacking or half-hearted security measures in the rest of the city. In this later article, Nasrallah is depicted as an adventurist, ready to engage in high-risk gamble to preserve Hizbullah's weapons and prestige. www.zmag.org /content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=22&ItemID=11108   (3805 words)

Al Jazeera special interview with Hassan Nasrallah Nasrallah thanked the Lebanese people for their position supporting the resistance because this stance will shorten the war because they will realize that the Lebanese people are united against the enemy which means the failure of the Israeli military option. Nasrallah said the goal of the war is to eliminate the Palestinian cause, the resistance factions and struggle. Nasrallah affirmed that he posed to some political leaders the possibility of abducting soldiers to end the prisoners file in the occupation prisons, stressing that what is happening in Lebanon today is not a matter of prisoner soldiers only but it deals with disarming the resistance. www.jmcc.org /new/06/jul/nasrallah.htm   (507 words)

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah Nasrallah sends a clear message to his opponents: Hezbollah is determined to maintain its status as “the defender of Lebanon”. In his speech, Hassan Nasrallah publicly admitted that Hezbollah is rebuilding its military arsenal, damaged in the war, and even claimed that it is well within its right to do so in its capacity (according to Nasrallah) as “the defender of Lebanon”. Nasrallah's arrogant language is a reflection of his increasing self-confidence and his desire to convey an uncompromising message to its opponents in Lebanon and elsewhere, according to which he will not give up his status as the “defender of Lebanon ”. www.intelligence.org.il /eng/eng_n/html/nasrallah_e20feb07.htm   (1418 words)

Nasrallah's Game Nasrallah, having failed to release Kuntar and the two other men, declared that Hezbollah would "reserve the right" to capture Israeli soldiers until the men were freed.

Nasrallah, whom the Israelis attempted to assassinate on July 19 with a twenty-three-ton bomb attack on an alleged Hezbollah bunker, is doubtless aware that he may share the fate of his predecessor, Abbas Musawi, who was killed in an Israeli helicopter gunship attack in 1992. www.thenation.com /doc/20060731/nasrallah_game   (1052 words)
