Hezbollah's escalating attacks on Israel risk 'dragging Lebanon into a war', Israel's military said Sunday.
JERUSALEM -- Hezbollah's escalating attacks on Israel risk "dragging Lebanon into a war", Israel's military said Sunday, after renewed cross-border exchanges of fire that have raised fears of a wider conflict.
It has also exchanged fire with Hezbollah across its northern border, amid growing concerns that Hezbollah intends to open another front against Israel in support of Hamas in the south. "Is the Lebanese state really willing to jeopardize what is left of Lebanese prosperity and Lebanese sovereignty for the sake of terrorists in Gaza?" he added.
Hezbollah number two Naim Qassem warned Saturday that the group could step up its engagement, as the group announced a series of attacks against Israeli and contested territory. Since October 7, exchanges of fire across the frontier have killed at least four people in Israel -- three soldiers and one civilian.
