Hezbollah leader meets with top Islamic Jihad, Hamas officials
JERUSALEM (AA) – The leader of Hezbollah has discussed the situation in Gaza with top officials of Palestinian groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Hassan Nasrallah met with Salih Al-Arouri, the deputy head of Hamas’ Political Bureau, and Ziyad Al-Nakhalah, Islamic Jihad secretary-general, and “reviewed developments in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing confrontations at the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine,” reported Al-Manar, a TV channel affiliated with Hezbollah.
“Recent events in the Gaza Strip since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Oct. 7 and subsequent developments on all fronts were reviewed,” it added.
Clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces along the Lebanese border followed the start of the conflict in Gaza, which has been under Israeli bombardment since Oct. 7.
Israel launched a relentless bombardment campaign on Gaza following a surprise attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, putting the enclave’s residents under total siege and a blockade of food, fuel and medical supplies.
