Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

Warning comes as Israeli politicians urge action against Hezbollah amid continuing tit-for-tat attacks across the Israel-Lebanon border.

Hezbollah’s deputy leader has warned Israel that a full-scale war on Lebanon would cause “large losses on both sides” and displace hundreds of thousands of more Israelis in the country’s north.

Naim Qassem’s comments on Saturday came as Israel’s Channel 13 reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “on the verge” of launching a “broad and strong operation” on the country’s northern border with Lebanon.

Hezbollah and the Israeli military have been trading near-daily fire across the Israel-Lebanon border since Israel launched its deadly war on Gaza in October. The Lebanese armed group said its attacks on Israel are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and would end as soon as Israeli troops end their war and withdraw from the coastal enclave.

The Hezbollah-Israel conflict has killed dozens of people in Israel, hundreds in Lebanon and displaced tens of thousands on both sides of the border.
