Nasrallah praises Hezbollah fighting Israel in southern Lebanon

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah trumpeted his group’s role keeping Israel pinned down on a second front along its northern border amid the war in Gaza. 

Nasrallah said Hezbollah members were dying every day, fighting against Israel.

He explained that his remarks in November that Hezbollah did not have advance knowledge of the Hamas-led 7 October attack were not intended to distance the Lebanese group from the attack.

Nasrallah also said that “axis of resistance” groups are not working directly at the request of Iran, but have their own shared goals and interests.

He also praised the Houthi’s maritime attacks in the Red Sea.
