ALBAWABA - Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah appeared in a new video sparking controversy online about the meaning behind the footage.

The 12-second video which was posted online shows at the beginning the flag of Hezbollah hanged to a wall and after a few seconds, Hassan Nasrallah walks by the flag while looking at it.

Nothing was said or written on the video, but many allegedly said that the Hezbollah leader is possibly hinting something for Israel.

Many social media users circulated the video and claimed that Hassan Nasrallah might be sharing the video as a sign that Hezbollah is ready to face Israel in case they entered a war.

A person posted the video and wrote: "Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah appears in a video clip for a few seconds...the Israeli will start analyzing this for hours."

However, many others claimed that this could be a teaser for an upcoming speech Nasrallah is expected to make.

A social media user said: "Looks like a hint that the long-expected Nasrallah speech could be coming soon. "

Hezbollah members in Lebanon and Israeli forces have been exchanging rockets and missiles since the start of the Gaza-Israel war on Oct. 7.

According to Reuters, Hezbollah said that 19 of its fighters have died in clashes with Israeli forces.
