Hezbollah chief warns Israel of war with 'no red lines' and threatens Cyprus

Hezbollah has vowed to fight "without red lines" if full-scale war breaks out between Lebanon and Israel, warning neighbouring Cyprus not to get involved in the conflict.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Saeed Hassan Nasrallah said intelligence from the Lebanese military showed Israel was "conducting exercises in Cyprus to prepare for war in Lebanon".

Cyprus President Nicos Christodoulides said on Wednesday that Cyprus was not involved in the conflict and was in fact part of the solution.

Hezbollah leaders vowed to fight "without rules and without red lines" if full-scale war broke out between the Lebanese army and Israel, and warned Cyprus not to get caught up in the dispute.


Lebanon and Israel have frequently fought across the border since the beginning of the Jewish state's war in Gaza against the Palestinian militant group Hamas (which, like Hezbollah, is backed by Iran). Clashes have intensified since Hezbollah leader Taleb Sami Abdullah and three other Hezbollah officials were killed in an Israeli airstrike last week.

On Wednesday, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech at the commemoration ceremony: "Israel knows very well that if there is a war between its neighbors, no one will be safe from us." Mannar TV, owned by Hezbollah.

Without giving further details, he added that Hezbollah now "has new weapons." The group frequently uses rockets modeled on Iran's Abaabil drone design, anti-tank missiles and Burkan heavy rockets, said Seth Franzman, an extension researcher at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy think tank.

Nasrallah, who initially said the initiative would reach 2021, announced that Hezbollah's tally now stands at "more than 100,000 killed," according to the Associated Press. The group's secret status, which covers its political, military and cultural affairs in Lebanon, makes these images difficult to identify. The Lebanese army is estimated to have around 80,000 personnel, according to the IndexMundi information portal.

Hezbollah leaders also threatened war on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus if EU members allow Israel to deploy troops from their territory. Nasrallah accused Israel of "conducting exercises in preparation for the war in Lebanon" in Cyprus, without revealing the location.


Manar quoted Nasrallah as saying, "I say that the Cypriot government should be careful because opening the airport for the enemy to attack Lebanon means that Cyprus is part of the war and we will be on its side as part of the war." said. Google Translate.

Cyprus denied this accusation but recently increased its defense level in May 2023 and participated in joint military operations with Israel. The Cyprus News Agency said Cyprus was not involved in the incident and reported that it was part of the solution to the dispute.

CNBC contacted the Cypriot Ministry of Foreign Affairs for comment on whether Cypriot websites were used for Israeli military operations. Nasrallah's comments amplified the rhetoric last week as increased rocket fire between Israel and Lebanon raised concerns about conflict in the Middle East.

Earlier this week, Hezbollah released video from its surveillance drone showing soldiers in the Israeli port of Haifa. In response, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement on Tuesday that "the operational plan for the attack on Lebanon has been approved and approved, and decisions have been made regarding the development of the combat-ready force," without elaborating on the possibility. or movement. Will it involve sending troops across the border?

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz also warned that "the time when Israel will decide to change its policies against Hezbollah and Lebanon is very close."

U.S. efforts to reduce conflict and increase peace efforts for the Gaza region have so far been inconclusive; White Amos Hochstein, speaker of the House of Representatives, met with Israeli and Lebanese leaders earlier this week.
