Hezbollah’s Nasrallah reportedly was warned of Oct. 7 Hamas attack half an hour before it began
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was informed of Hamas’s plans to launch a multi-pronged assault on southern Israel half an hour before the attack began on October 7, French newspaper Le Figaro reports.
According to the report, senior Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri, who resides in Lebanon, received a phone call on the morning of October 7, informing him of the imminent assault and requesting that he inform the leader of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group.
Hezbollah, a firm ally of Hamas, has been engaged in near-daily skirmishes on the Lebanon border since October 7, launching rockets, missiles and drones at northern Israel, resulting in widespread evacuation across most residential areas close to the border.
