Hezbollah, he added, "Is at the forefront of the fight against Israel and it is growing stronger by the day."

 

Speaking at a ceremony honoring past Hezbollah commanders, Vahidi said that "Israel is weaker than it has ever been and its army is tired and humiliated… This is why it is trying to solve its problems by talking about taking action against Iran. But these are ridiculous statements.

 

"Iran's warriors are ready and willing to wipe Israel off the map," he declared.
