A Hezbollah spokesperson told Newsweek that the group 'will defend its citizens and its land without any hesitation.'
Eighteen years after the last major war between Israel and Hezbollah, a spokesperson for the Lebanese movement has told Newsweek the group was prepared to thwart any new Israeli offensive amid repeated threats from senior Israeli officials over worsening cross-border clashes tied to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, echoed these comments during a press briefing Wednesday, telling reporters that 'a ceasefire in Gaza can lead to a calm on the border between Israel and Lebanon—an end to the exchanges of fire that have destabilized but, beyond that, have cause death and destruction on both sides of the border.'Israeli officials estimate that around 80,000 people have been evacuated from communities in northern Israel as a result of the fighting.
