“If what happens in Gaza is a mix between cease-fire and no cease-fire, war and no war, we can’t answer now, because we don’t know its shape, its results, its impacts,” Kassem said during a 40-minute interview. Last month, the Israeli army said it has “approved and validated” plans for an offensive in Lebanon if no diplomatic solution is reached to the ongoing clashes. Any decision to launch such an operation would have to come from the country’s political leadership.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, is far more powerful than Hamas and believed to have a vast arsenal of rockets and missiles capable of striking anywhere in Israel.
