Israel-Hamas war: Why Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's speech was cause of concern

Firstpost  

Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah, has led the Iran-backed militant group since 1992. Some feared the reclusive Shia cleric would call for an all-out war against Israel, which would prompt other groups to join the fighting and conceivably cause a region-wide conflagration On Friday, Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made his first comments since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. Let’s take a closer look: Hezbollah’s role since conflict began Hezbollah claimed it was in “direct contact with the leadership of the Palestinian resistance” on 7 October – the day Hamas attacked Israel. Senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine said his group’s “guns and rockets” were with Palestinian militants. The Heavily armed Shi’ite Islamist group said in a statement its fighters launched 19 simultaneous strikes on Israeli army positions in Israel using guided missiles, artillery and other weapons.
