Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah warned that “all possibilities” are open as clashes intensify on Israel’s northern border, and said escalation will depend on developments in Gaza and Israel’s behavior toward Lebanon.
Iran-backed Hezbollah, based in Lebanon, has been exchanging fire with Israeli forces across the border on a near-daily basis since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7. In his first public statement on the war — delivered via video link — Nasrallah said “no one knew” beforehand about the Palestinian group’s plans. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are classified as terrorist organizations by the US.
