The Institute for the Study of War, a US-based think tank, said Hezbollah has doubled its cross-border attacks into Israel.
“Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah signalled on January 3 that LH will not immediately escalate against Israel for Israel’s surgical strike killing Hamas deputy political bureau chairman Saleh Arouri in Beirut,” it said.
The think tank noted that Palestinian fighters were continuing to battle behind the Israeli military’s forward lines of advance in Gaza City, and were fighting to stop Israeli forces from “clearing” the Daraj and Tuffah neighbourhoods of the enclave.
