Hezbollah praises the massive Hamas operation against Israel, and says it is message to Arab countries normalizing with Israel.
The terror group Hezbollah says it is in direct contact with the Hamas leadership in Gaza and abroad, and calls on Arab and Muslim peoples around the world to declare their support to Hamas and the Palestinian people, adding that armed resistance is the only way to confront the Israeli “aggression.”
Hezbollah adds that the “Al-Aqsa Deluge” operation launched by Hamas against Israel is a message to the international community and the Arab and Muslim world, in particular those countries seeking normalization with Israel.
It also calls on the Israeli government to learn the “important lessons” taught by the “Palestinian resistance.”
