Hezbollah threatens to attack Cyprus

Hezbollah leader warns Cyprus will be attacked if it continues to help Israel and allows them to use its land in a conflict.

Hezbollah's leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, cautioned about a war "unrestricted and boundless" if Israel launches a large-scale offensive attack on his militia, and mentioned the possibility of Cyprus being targeted if it assists Israel in any way.

Cyprus and Israel have signed a defence cooperation deal that has led to joint military drills between the two nations. The two countries continue to provide aid to one another in times of need, including Israel sending planes to subdue the Paphos wildfires last week.

The Hezbollah leader stated that if Cypriot airports and bases are used by Israel to target Lebanon, it would signify the Cypriot government's involvement in the war, and they will be treated accordingly by the terrorist organization as an enemy.

Nasrallah's bold comments were made one day after Israeli military leaders approved plans for a military offensive attack on Hezbollah, while Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, hinted that the decision to escalate the conflict was imminent.

In the IDF's response to Nasrallah making threats against Cyprus and Israel the IDF Chief states Hezbollah doesn't know all of our capabilities.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah stated on TV that a potential invasion of the Galilee is still a possibility if the conflict intensifies. Nasrallah cautioned that Cyprus will be drawn into conflict with Hezbollah if it supports Israel in any way during the war.
