The comments from Hassan Nasrallah were his first he has made publicly since Hamas fighters attacked southern Israel on October 7.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah delivered a speech on the conflict between Israel and Hamas, claiming it would be the 'stupidest mistake' for Tel Aviv to attack Lebanon.
Gaza's Health Ministry said the Palestinian death toll has now surpassed 9,200 - most of them women and children. Mr Netanyahu has ruled out any chance of a ceasefire in Gaza without the return of more than 200 hostages, which Hamas have taken into the territory.Who are Hezbollah and could they get involved in the Israeli-Hamas conflict?Speaking via video link from an undisclosed location, Nasrallah praised the Hamas attack, saying: "This great, large-scale operation was purely the result of Palestinian planning and implementation.
In recent weeks, Hezbollah, which itself is a proscribed terror group in the UK, has been engaging in skirmishes with Israeli forces along the latter's northern border with Lebanon.The group, like Hamas, is backed by Iran and is the largest political and military force in Lebanon. It comes as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remain in Gaza City - many of whom are sheltering in United Nations facilities - after the Israel Defence Forces said it had completely surrounded the city.
