The leader of Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militia, said it would escalate its fight against Israel following a worsening spate of attacks between the two sides this week.
Hassan Nasrallah said the group, based in Lebanon, would retaliate against Israel for targeting its positions and killing civilians in recent days. Hezbollah will hit “not just army sites,” he said in a speech on Friday.
