Hezbollah could spiral Israel-Hamas war 'out of control & drag Iran into a conflict it doesn't want'

Description

There are fears that Hezbollah and other Iran-backed groups in the region may escalate the fight with Israel to support Hamas in case of a ground incursion into Gaza. So far, artillery exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel have been limited to several towns along the border. Israel has threatened that if Hezbollah opens a new front, all of Lebanon will suffer the consequences. The escalating rhetoric between Hezbollah and Israel has led to a scramble of diplomacy aimed at heading off a larger conflict. Clashes erupt again on the Lebanon-Israel border, FRANCE 24's François Picard is joined by Andreas Krieg, Author and Associate Professor in the School of Security Studies at King’s College, London
