Hezbollah head vows vengeance over killing of Hamas leader in Iran

The head of Hezbollah vowed vengeance Thursday for the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, saying in a speech that Israel is unaware of the red lines it has crossed.

The head of Hezbollah vowed vengeance Thursday for the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, saying in a speech that Israel is unaware of the red lines it has crossed.

Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah described the assassination Wednesday in Tehran, Iran's capital, as an attack on Iran’s sovereignty as well as its honor.

“We have entered a new phase of the battle, and its escalation depends on the enemy’s reactions,” Nasrallah said, without specifying how the Iran-backed Lebanese militia and political group might respond.

Iranian officials and Hamas have blamed Israel for the attack on Haniyeh. Israel has not taken responsibility, although government officials have praised it.

Israel and Hezbollah, which has supported the Palestinian cause since its inception, have traded fire since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack in which 1,200 were killed and some 250 kidnapped.
