In his speech, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah mocked Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, referring to them as "fools and drunks." During a memorial speech for prominent leader Muhammad Ni'mah Nasser, who was killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon, Nasrallah stated: "Whoever threatens us with an invasion of south of the Litani should look at what is happening in Rafah, where they have failed to achieve victory." He continued, "Ben Gvir and Smotrich (fools and drunks)... Anyone who threatens us with an invasion of south of the Litani should look at Rafah… With preliminary forces supported by aircraft, they entered Rafah, and the occupation claimed it would finish the battle within 3-4 weeks, but they failed." Activists on social media widely reacted to Nasrallah’s statements, sharing them along with laughing emojis.
