Israel’s defence minister has vowed to step up attacks on Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group even if a ceasefire is reached with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah, which has been exchanging fire with Israel throughout the war in Gaza, has said it will halt its nearly daily attacks on Israel if a ceasefire is reached in Gaza.
