Amid Gaza war, Hezbollah warns Israel about bigger defeat if it attacks Lebanon

A senior official of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says a potential attack by the Israeli regime on Lebanon would lead to a defeat bigger than what the regime has suffered in Palestine. 

Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, a member of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, said on Monday that Israel’s plans to launch an attack on Lebanon to make up for its defeats in Gaza would further complicate the regime’s woes and would accelerate the collapse of the Israeli cabinet led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  

“If the aim of expanding the Israeli aggression to Lebanon is to escape defeat, it will lead to a deeper and bigger defeat, and if the aim is to prolong the political life of Netanyahu, I should say that any war with Lebanon would have only one result and that would be an acceleration in their defeat and the fall of Netanyahu,” said the cleric.

The comments come as Hezbollah continues to hit targets in the Israeli-occupied areas in north of Palestine in a bid to force the regime to end its aggression on Gaza, which has killed over 29,000 people since it started in early October.
