Israel Defence Forces spokesman says Lebanon will gain nothing from a new conflict.
JERUSALEM: Escalating attacks by Hezbollah risk “dragging Lebanon into a war”, Israel’s military said today, after renewed cross-border exchanges of fire that have raised fears of a wider conflict.
The Lebanese group is allied with Hamas, which touched off the latest violence with a Oct 7 rampage in Israel that killed at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians who were shot, mutilated or burnt to death, according to Israeli officials. It has also exchanged fire with Hezbollah across its northern border, with Conricus accusing the group of a dangerous escalation.
“Is the Lebanese state really willing to jeopardise what is left of Lebanese prosperity and Lebanese sovereignty for the sake of terrorists in Gaza?” he asked.Recent exchanges of fire have killed four Hezbollah fighters and a member of Palestinian group Islamic Jihad in Lebanon, while three Israeli troops were injured, one seriously, in Hezbollah anti-tank fire, and two Thai farm workers also wounded.
