Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned on Friday that the war between Israel and Hamas could escalate into a regional conflict. He highlighted that all options are now open for the conflict to expand, allowing Lebanon to enter the frame. People from the intelligence community told CNN-News18 that the speech was more of a “religious fatwa, not a military order”.
It should be noted that the US and Israel-designated terrorist group maintains a robust military wing and concurrently operates a political party, exercising considerable influence within Lebanon.
