Hezbollah Leader Hasan Nasrallah's First Speech Amid Israel-Gaza War Raises Concerns

Lebanon is anxiously awaiting signals from Hezbollah's leader, Hasan Nasrallah, as Israel's invasion of Gaza intensifies. Hezbollah has recently deployed new weapons and launched attacks deeper into Israel, raising concerns of a full-blown war. Nasrallah's upcoming speech is expected to reveal whether he supports reining in the attacks or expanding them. Hezbollah's bolder attacks and a letter addressed to the people and fighters in Gaza suggest a potential escalation in the conflict. However, Lebanon, already burdened by economic and social crises, is hesitant to engage in another war with Israel.
