The United States insisted once more this Friday that Hezbollah, the terrorist militia operating in Lebanon, should not “take advantage” of the war between Israel and Hamas to add its own attacks once morest Tel Aviv.

“We and our allies have been clear: Hezbollah and other actors – state or otherwise – must not attempt to take advantage of the ongoing conflict. The United States is not seeking an escalation or expansion of the conflict that Hamas brought to Israel” but “this has the potential to become the bloodiest war between Israel and Lebanon since 2006,” said a spokesman for the National Security Council in Washington and emphasized that “the probable devastation for his people would be unimaginable and avoidable.”
The United States warning was given in response to the speech moments before by Hassan Nasrallah, head of the Lebanese terrorist group, in which he referred to recent events, celebrated the Hamas offensives for being “blessed and heroic” and stressed that he does not rule out greater participation in the confrontations.

In his first public speech since October 7, the leader began by clarifying that his militia had not been involved in the “Al Aqsa Storm” operation like Iran, which was credited with financing, training and masterminding the attack. .

“It was a 100% Palestinian operation” that was carried out in secret and it was, coincidentally, “that absolute confidentiality that guaranteed success, due to the surprise factor,” he explained and added: “We have congratulated the operation, the confidentiality does not bother us.” .

He then referred to the role that his attackers played in the following days, with daily missile launches once morest Israel that, however, were noted as insufficient by Hamas.
“For some who demand that Hezbollah enter into a quick war with the Israeli enemy, what is happening on the border may seem like a small thing but it is important and big. Of course it is not enough but what is happening on the Lebanese front has no precedent since 1948. All of Israel’s military positions are targets and are attacked on a daily basis,” he stressed.
Still, he suggested that full involvement in the conflict is likely as he declared that “all operations are on the table and we will go further at any time.”
In that sense, he referred to the role adopted by the United States, which supports its former ally -Israel- and which has mobilized part of its defense fleet in the Mediterranean to the area: “Hezbollah has a way to confront them.”

Finally, he asked him to stop the attacks on Gaza since it will be “his soldiers” who will pay the price and insisted on the victory of the Palestinian terrorist side: “Operation Al Aqsa caused an earthquake in Israel” and “no matter how much they do “Whatever the enemy’s governments do, they will never be able to change what caused the future conflict with Israel.”
The United States, meanwhile, assured that it will not get involved “in a war of words.”
While these crossings are taking place at the diplomatic level, in the field, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) attacked a new Hezbollah terrorist cell in southern Lebanon along with key infrastructure for the group’s operations.
“In response to the fire from Lebanon towards Israel, the IDF attacked a terrorist cell within a Hezbollah compound as well as infrastructure,” said an Army spokesperson, adding that, in addition, “a terrorist cell that attempted to launch anti-tank missiles toward the Har Dov area was attacked by tanks.”
