Hezbollah No. 2 says terror group not looking to expand conflict with Israel

Hezbollah’s deputy head Naim Qassem says the powerful armed group has decided not to widen its months-long war with Israel, but that it would fight if a full-scale war is imposed on it.

“Any Israeli expansion of the war in Lebanon will be met with devastation, destruction and displacement,” he threatens, adding that Hezbollah has only used a small portion of its arsenal thus far.

Qassem’s comments are carried by Al-Jazeera ahead of the airing of an interview with him.
