The situation in Gaza is heated, Hezbollah talked about “red lines”

Hamas spokesman Ahmed Abdul said on 13 November that Hezbollah would become more deeply involved in the Israel–Hamas conflict if Hamas was completely eliminated in Gaza.

According to Abdul, Hezbollah is not ready to directly participate in the Israel-Hamas conflict, but would increase operations against Israel if Hamas is completely defeated.

“For Hezbollah, the moment the movement in Gaza is completely suppressed is the moment the red line is crossed,” Mr. Hadi said, according to the station. nbc news,

Although Israeli forces have clashed with Hezbollah several times along the Israel-Lebanon border in recent weeks, senior Hezbollah commander Naim Qassim stressed that the clashes were only “aimed at reducing pressure on Gaza.”

Other senior Hezbollah officials declined to disclose the group’s “red lines”, saying only that their response would depend on Israel’s actions.

Hezbollah leader Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah announced last week that the group was stepping up its activities on the anti-Israel front, increasing the scale and number of operations, targets and weapons used.

The Israeli military once warned Hezbollah of a “serious mistake” if the group increased its attacks on Israeli forces. The Israeli military claims to have killed about 80 Hezbollah fighters in recent clashes.
