Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah demands end of attacks against Israel on a “ceasefire” in Gaza. “When the aggression in Gaza stops and there is a ceasefire, the shooting will also stop in the south” of Lebanon, he says.
‘If they widen the confrontation, we will do it too,’ he adds, in response to repeated threats from Israeli officials to start a war against Lebanon. At least 243 people, including 175 Hezbollah fighters and 30 civilians, have been killed in southern Lebanon in more than four months.
