Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah threatens that residents of northern Israel will not be able to return home for the start of the next school year in September if the government presses on with its fight against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza during the war there.
“The link between the supportive Lebanese front and Gaza is definitive, final, and conclusive,” he says in a televised address. “No one will be able to de-link them.”
Around 60,000 residents of towns and villages along Israel’s northern border have been forced from their homes since October due to near-daily cross-border rocket and anti-tank missile attacks by Hezbollah and other terrorists in southern Lebanon.
Nasrallah addresses the displaced Israelis, saying, “If you want to solve the issue, go to your government and tell them to stop the war on Gaza.”
