Exclusive: Hezbollah Says It Won't Join Fight After US Attacks Iran [View all]
https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-hezbollah-says-wont-join-fight-after-us-attacks-iran-2088889A spokesperson for Hezbollah told Newsweek that the Iran-aligned Lebanese militant group did not have immediate plans to retaliate against Israel and the United States after President Donald Trump ordered direct U.S. strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.
"Iran is a strong country capable of defending itself, logic dictates that it can confront America and Israel," a Hezbollah spokesperson said in a message to Newsweek late Saturday. "Hezbollah remains committed to all matters agreed upon since the ceasefire."
Hezbollah signed a ceasefire with Israel last November, just over a year after the Palestinian Hamas movement launched a surprise attack against Israel, sparking a regional conflict that drew in the Iran-led Axis of Resistance coalition.
Israel and Hezbollah have since continued to accuse one another of violating the truce. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out strikes in recent days against the group's leadership, special forces and military infrastructure in Lebanon, citing "intelligence indicating Hezbollah's attempts to rebuild its capabilities."
