"A range of developments — threats from Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in a speech on Friday". I watched the speech in Arabic and--unlike Barnard--it was not reported to me by the pro-March 14 stringers and fixers of the New York Times office in Beirut and I did not see threats that Nasrallah made. He did talk about defense against Israeli attacks, does that mean that to defend from Israeli attacks is a threat in itself according to Barnard?
