Hezbollah leader warns Israel as Shiites mark Ashoura
Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech today that Netanyahu is working with US President Donald Trump's administration to undermine the Iran nuclear deal and start a regional war. He warned Israel not to underestimate Hezbollah's capabilities.
Shiites across the region are marking the holiday with prayers and marches and, in some cities, self-flagellation.
Ashoura commemorates the day the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Hussein, was killed by a rival Muslim faction in Karbala, present day Iraq, in 680 A.D. Hussein and his descendants are seen by Shiites as the rightful heirs to the prophet.
