Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah has urged Palestinians to use any weapons at hand to kill Israelis during the clashes in Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank.
Speaking at a rally in Sfeir, in southern Beirut, Nasrallah said it was time to move away from stone-throwing and into what he called the "real phase of the Jihad" - or Holy War.
He called on the Palestinian protestors to save whatever bullets they had for firing at Israeli soldiers and settlers, saying it was unfair that it was mostly Palestinians who were being killed.
He also called on religious leaders in the Arab and the Islamic worlds to issue a fatwa - or religious edict - for an armed struggle.
The rally was attended by thousands of Hezbollah supporters and by representatives from Palestinian factions in Lebanon, as well as Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the occupied Palestine.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"We warn of a political massacre that's being cooked at this moment (meeting
of Albright, Barak and Arafat). They are preparing and negotiating for a political massacre in which they are plotting against Jerusalem and against the Palestinians."

SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"Let all the voices be raised in all the cities and all the villages all over the Arab Nation and all over the Islamic world and let it ask Muslim clerics for their religious opinion ( Fatwa) and they will tell you let it be the Jihad - because the Jihad is a religious obligation and not only a duty . And only then you will see how Israel will not last for a few days. I swear to God we are not weak."

" I call on the Palestinian people to develop the Intifada into an armed resistance.You have to move from the stone-throwing Intifada to the phase of real Jihad (Holy War) operations."
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"Save all your bullets and instead of firing it on walls or in the air, keep it aside and then fire it in the occupying Zionist chests, whoever they are, soldiers or settlers, and then you will find that the equation has changed. The equation inside Palestine shouldn't remain
the same. It isn't permitted anymore that our children and our women and our youth are the ones who are being killed."
