Hezbollah Warns US About Entering War Against Israel

The terrorists issued an ultimatum.

The Lebanese group Hezbollah has threatened the United States to open a new front against Israel if the Israeli army does not stop military operations in the Gaza Strip by November 3, a source in Iranian diplomatic circles told the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.

According to him, the leader of the group, Hassan Nasrallah, will speak on this day and, if there is no ceasefire from the Israeli army, he will announce a general mobilization and begin a military operation against Israel.

Before this, Hezbollah regularly fired at Israeli territory from the north and drew back some of the troops. In response, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched missile attacks on military targets in Lebanon.

If Hezbollah decides to open a second front, Israel will also attack Iran, the country's Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat previously warned. “Israel has a very clear message to our enemies. We tell them: look at what is happening in the Gaza Strip — they will do the same to you if you attack us,” he said.

In turn, the United States asked Israel not to launch massive strikes against Hezbollah, as Washington fears that the confrontation could escalate into a full-scale conflict. If this happens, Israel will have to fight a war on two fronts. The risk of the US and Iran being drawn into the conflict will also increase, New York Times noted.

At the same time, the Lebanese authorities declared their reluctance to enter into war. According to Prime Minister Najib Mikati, if this happens, “the entire region will plunge into a state of chaos.” “However, on the issue of dragging Lebanon into the conflict, the ball is in Israel’s court: the war will flare up if it continues to violate our borders and strike,” Mikati said.

Meanwhile, Israeli troops have entered Gaza during a ground operation and are surrounding the city from different sides, Chief of the General Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said the day before. “The force is in the heart of northern Gaza, operating in Gaza City, encircling it, deepening [the ground offensive] and making progress,” he said.
