"Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Looming Threat to Israel: Exploring Cooperation and Escalating Tensions"

Hamas and Hezbollah, both backed by Iran, have different ideologies and objectives. While Hamas focuses on the Palestinian cause, Hezbollah's primary goal is to weaken Israel and expel western powers from the Middle East. Hezbollah has not fully entered the current conflict but has exchanged fire with Israel across the northern border with Lebanon. If activated by Iran, Hezbollah's involvement could escalate the conflict and potentially lead to a regional war.
