Hezbollah warning of regional war if Gaza bombing continues

Sheikh Naim Qassem, the second-in-command of Hezbollah, the militant group in Lebanon, said the killing of civilians in Gaza by Israel’s military could lead to a regional war.

He said that “very serious and very dangerous developments could occur in the region, and no one would be able to stop the repercussions, speaking to the BBC.

He continued, “The danger is real because Israel is increasing its aggression against civilians and killing more women and children. Is it possible for this to continue and increase, without bringing real danger to the region? I think not. Every possibility has a response.”
