Hezbollah leader praises Hamas terror attack as 'heroic' form of jihad against Israel

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah claimed Friday during a televised speech that he was not aware of plans behind the Oct.7 Hamas attack on Israel beforehand.

Nasrallah called the brutal assault that took the lives of over 1,400 Israeli citizens "a heroic, brave act."

"We salute it," he said in his video speech.

Praising Hamas for its violent attacks and referring to Israel as "the occupiers," Nasrallah said the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks were strictly a Palestinian operation.

The terrorist leader claimed he was not made aware of the attack before it was initiated.
