Hezbollah Warns Of Regional War if Gaza Bombing Continues

The second in command of Hezbollah the powerful Iranian group has said Israel’s killing of civilians in Gaza risks wider war in the Middle East.

Sheikh Naim Qassem told the BBC that “very serious and very dangerous developments could occur in the region, and no-one would be able to stop the repercussions”.

Hezbollah’s Deputy Leader was speaking in an interview in Beirut, as Gaza Health Ministry said more than 10,000 people had been killed.

Israel’s assault follows the Hamas attacks on 7 October.

“The danger is real,” he said, “because Israel is increasing its aggression against civilians and killing more women and children. Is it possible for this to continue and increase, without bringing real danger to the region? I think not.”

He insisted any escalation would be linked to Israel’s actions. “Every possibility has a response,” he said.

Hezbollah, “the Party of God” has plenty of possibilities.
