#Gaza #Hezbollah Nasrallah called for the pressure on Israel to continue to prevent it from making progress.
He again accused the United States of being the main actor operating against the Gaza Strip and thanked Iran for the aid it provided to the "resistance.”

#Gaza #Hezbollah After 1:25 of the Hezbollah leader's speech, we concluded that he intended to give a serious warning of a potential escalation of the conflict to another level, should the continued attacks on Gaza persist. The US was not spared, being accused as the main culprit and Israel as a tool for the purpose. #Lebanon
