"Hezbollah Vows Retaliation as Israel Intensifies Campaign Against Hamas Leaders"

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has condemned the killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut, attributing the attack to Israel and vowing not to remain silent over what he calls a "major, dangerous crime." Despite the heightened tensions and the ongoing low-intensity conflict along the Israel-Lebanon border, experts suggest that a direct escalation is not imminent, though the threat persists. Hezbollah is cautious about starting a major war but is prepared to respond with full military capabilities if Israel launches a full-scale offensive. Nasrallah is expected to give another speech soon, while Hamas plans to bury al-Arouri in Beirut.
