Hezbollah warns its intensified attacks show Israel all-out war would be costly

Cross-border attacks by Israel and Hezbollah have been taking place almost daily since the war in Gaza began in October.

Lebanese militant group Hezbollah says its intensified attacks along Israel’s northern border this week demonstrate to Israeli leaders that an all-out war would be costly, senior official Sheikh Ali Daamoush said in a sermon during Friday prayers.

Iran-backed Hezbollah militants launched dozens of rockets on Friday in a third day of retaliation for the killing of senior commander Taleb Sami Abdullah, 55. The Israeli military said approximately 35 projectiles were identified.
