Hezbollah's leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has broken his silence and made a speech addressing the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Hezbollah, known as Israel's biggest threat, has already launched multiple attacks on Israel in recent weeks. Nasrallah's speech hinted at Hezbollah's potential escalation in the conflict. While he claimed that Hezbollah already joined the war on October 8, he also stated that the status quo is likely to remain for now, with limited attacks and strikes. Nasrallah warned that if the Israel Defense Forces attack Lebanon, they will "pay dearly." He also issued a strong warning to the United States, claiming that they are just as responsible for the war due to their support for Israel.
The question remains: Will Hezbollah's involvement change the course of the Israel-Hamas war? Nasrallah's speech suggests that Hezbollah is currently focused on keeping Israeli forces occupied in the north, rather than fully entering the fight in Gaza. However, he did not rule out the possibility of further action depending on Israel's response. As tensions continue to rise, the region waits to see if Hezbollah's powerful presence will tip the scales in this intense conflict.
