Hezbollah official says it will stay out of Israel-Iran fight
A Hezbollah official tells Reuters that the Iranian proxy group based in Lebanon will not unilaterally launch an attack on Israel in support of Tehran.
“Hezbollah will not initiate its own attack on Israel in retaliation for Israel’s strikes,” the official says.
Meanwhile, a Hezbollah statement condemns the Israeli attack on Iran, calling it a dangerous escalation by an enemy that understands only the language of “killing, fire, and destruction.”
The statement makes no mention of whether Hezbollah intends to respond to the strike.
