Nahariya (Israel): Hezbollah's deputy leader Naim Kassem said Sunday that his group is now in an open-ended battle with Israel and he threatened more displacement for people in Israel's north.

We admit that we are pained. We are humans. But as we are pained, you will also be pained, Kassem said at the funeral of top Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Akil. Your economy will be destroyed...and you will not achieve your goals, he said.

Kassem added that Hezbollah, which has lost a group of senior military leaders in recent months has returned stronger, and the front line will witness this. He said a barrage of 100 rockets fired by the group deep into Israel early Sunday was only the beginning.
