The leader of Hezbollah, a Lebanese movement allied with Hamas, is due to give a highly anticipated speech this Friday afternoon. A speech which comes after exchanges of strikes between the Israeli army and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon which raise fears of a spread of the conflict between the Hebrew state and Hamas.
The Middle East hanging on the lips of Hassan Nasrallah. The leader of Hezbollah, a group considered terrorist by the European Union and a supporter of Hamas, is due to give a speech this Friday afternoon after fighting between Israeli forces and his armed group. A speech by Hassan Nasrallah which raises fears of a spread of the conflict between the Hebrew State and Hamas on the Lebanese border.
Israel confirmed that it had carried out a large strike operation on Hezbollah positions on the Lebanese border during the night of Thursday to Friday. A military movement which according to the Israeli army was ordered in response to shots from the Lebanese terrorist group targeting its territory. A speech which therefore comes at a moment of extreme tension between the two countries already accustomed to military clashes which have already left 70 dead since October 7 and the Hamas attack on Israel.
332 Israeli soldiers dead since the start of the fighting
If the threat of the opening of a new front on the Lebanese border is to be feared for Israel, its military operation carried out in the Gaza Strip continues. After a week of fighting, ground and close-range clashes continue to rage between the Israeli military and members of Hamas. Clashes which have left 332 Jewish state soldiers dead since October 7 and the surprise attack by the terrorist group.
The IDF still faces difficulty destroying Hamas’ underground tunnels nicknamed “the Gaza Metro.” A prospect of destruction deemed impossible by an Israeli military official who advocates a siege to force terrorists to come out of their hiding places to neutralize them. Despite this assessment, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed “impressive military successes” on Thursday.
