A senior Hamas official tells The Associated Press that the terror group had expected stronger intervention from Hezbollah in its war with Israel.

Ghazi Hamad, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, says that “we need more” from allies, including Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“Hezbollah now is working against the occupation,” Hamad says at the Hamas office in Beirut. “We appreciate this. But… we need more in order to stop the aggression on Gaza… we expect more.”
