Hezbollah’s chief has said the terror group is ‘fully prepared’ to join Hamas in its war against Israel as the conflict sparked by Saturday’s attack continues to escalate.
The leader of the powerful Iran-backed Lebanese terror group, which has already clashed with Israel in recent days, said it was ‘ready’ and would ‘contribute’ to confrontations against its southern neighbour according to its own plan.
Sheikh Naim Qassem addressed a large crowd of cheering supporters waving Hezbollah and Palestinian flags and holding pictures of burning Israeli ones.
He said major powers, Arab countries and the UN had ‘directly and indirectly’ told Hezbollah ‘not to interfere’ in ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Qassem’s comments came as Israel’s defence minister Yoav Gallant said this afternoon that Hamas is part of an ‘axis of evil’ with Iran and Hezbollah.
