Nasrallah spoke to commemorate four years since the killing of Iranian Revolutionary Guards top commander Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq. Two explosions on Wednesday during a memorial ceremony at a cemetery in southeastern Iran where Soleimani is buried killed over 100 people, at a time of high tension between arch-enemies Iran and Israel.

Hebozllah leader threatens fighting ‘with no limits’ if war breaks out with Israel

The secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, reasserted that the killing of Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri will not go without punishment, warning Israel against attacking Lebanon.

“If the enemy thinks about waging war against Lebanon, then our fighting will be with no ceiling, with no limits, with no rules. And they know what I mean,” Nasrallah said.
“We are not afraid of war. We don’t fear it. We are not hesitant. If we were, we would have stopped at the front,” he added.
“This dangerous crime will not go unanswered and unpunished.”
Nasrallah called Arouri “a brother” and “a grand commander” and stressed his assassination on the Lebanese soil was “a blatant attack” by the Zionist regime.
The Hezbollah leader also said that Israel is hiding the casualties it has suffered in clashes with Hezbollah while describing the operations against the Israeli regime as “effective”.
He added that neither the Israeli regime nor the United States were able to achieve any results from the ongoing aggression against Palestine and their operations across the region.
“The Americans have left the region without achieving a result,” he stated, while referring to reports suggesting that a US navy destroyer had left regional waters in recent days.
The Hezbollah chief stressed Gaza showed the “ugliest” reality about the United States.
“Who is doing the killing in Gaza is the American [administration] and the American decision and the American policy and the American missile and the American bomb,” Nasrallah said.
He added that Washington is preventing stopping the war and becoming isolated in the world. . . .

The journalists Christine Emba and Thomas Chatterton Williams will join The Atlantic as staff writers, and Robert Worth is becoming a contributing writer, editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg announced today.

Christine joins from The Washington Post, where she was most recently a columnist and a member of the Editorial Board. Thomas joins staff this week after several years as a contributing writer; in the past year, he’s written about defining wokeism, against smelling weed in public, and profiled the artist Chase Hall. Robert has written periodically for The Atlantic since 1995, most recently investigating the bizarre story behind Shinzo Abe’s assassination for the October 2023 issue.

Below is Goldberg’s note to staff:

Dear everyone,

I’m writing to share some excellent news about three extraordinary journalists.

First, I’m very pleased to let you know that Christine Emba is joining our team as a staff writer. Christine is a brilliant writer and sharp observer of the complexities and absurdities of modern life and culture. She has written memorably about relationships, masculinity, sex, race, wealth, and much more. She comes to us from The Washington Post, where she has most recently served as a columnist and a member of the Editorial Board. Before that she worked as a criticism fellow at the New Criterion and as a deputy editor at the Economist Intelligence Unit, focusing on technology and innovation. She is also the author of Rethinking Sex: A Provocation.

Next, we’re delighted to share that Robert Worth is joining The Atlantic as a contributing writer. Many of you are already familiar with his outstanding work for The Atlantic. Bobby is a terrifically talented and ambitious reporter with deep experience across a wide range of topics. His article, “The Bizarre Story Behind Shinzo Abe’s Assassination” for our October issue, was one of the most fascinating pieces we published last year, and he’s written periodically for us about numerous topics, going back to 1995. Most recently, he’s been a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine, reporting from the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. He is also the former Beirut bureau chief for The New York Times and the author of A Rage for Order: The Middle East in Turmoil, From Tahrir Square to ISIS, which won the 2017 Lionel Gelber Prize.

Finally, we are happy to let you know that our contributing writer Thomas Chatterton Williams has agreed to become a staff writer. Thomas is a long-time contributor to our pages who has fantastically varied interests—he’s written fascinating and highly original pieces on everything from “le wokism,” to how the French do Christmas, to the people who dislike reading, to his profile of Chase Hall.

Please join us in celebrating this excellent news with Christine, Bobby, and Thomas.

Jeff
