The leader of Hezbollah is due to speak on Friday November 3. While Israel and Hamas are at war, Lebanese Hezbollah, supported by Iran, could oppose the Jewish state.
Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, is due to speak on Friday November 3. Since October 7, 50 of its militiamen have died in clashes with the Israeli army on the Lebanese border. Activists are calling for war, but in Lebanon, no one wants a new conflict. “He will make a fairly virulent speech, without however going beyond certain limits. It is a question of establishing a balance of terror with Israel”, assures Karim Emile Bitar, associate researcher at IRIS, specialist in the Middle East. For him, it is a matter of remembering that Iran has, through Hezbollah, a sort of life insurance.
“A huge arsenal of missiles”
If Iran’s interests are attacked, then Hezbollah will go to war against Israel. The Palestinian cause is in the background. It is an army of 20,000 to 30,000 men trained and armed by Tehran. “Above all, it has an enormous arsenal of missiles.“, indicates Orna Mizrahi, researcher at the INSS, specialist in Hezbollah. Hezbollah and Iran want to take advantage of the conflict to weaken Israel.
