Hezbollah Chief Meets Hamas Officials Amid Tensions in Occupied Palestine
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, met with senior Hamas officials in Beirut, as tensions are simmering across the occupied Palestinian territories over Israeli forces storming the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
The delegation included Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau, Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri, deputy head of the political bureau, and top officials Khalil al-Hayya and Osama Hamdan, according to Palestinian media outlets.
The meeting focused on the latest political and field developments in Palestine, Lebanon, and the Middle East. They discussed the recent confrontations in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and al-Quds.
Nasrallah issued a warning to Israel over the regime’s escalation at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied al-Quds.
Also, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement, condemned the latest Israeli forces’ raid against worshipers at the al-Aqsa Mosque.
The group said that the attack was a “red line” for all Palestinians. Abu Hamza, a spokesman for the group, said they will continue to confront the Zionist regime’s atrocities and will not hesitate to carry out retaliatory operations by any means.
Kata’ib Hezbollah and Yemeni Ansarullah resistance group expressed solidarity with Palestinians in the wake of incursions and raids by Israeli forces. Kata'ib Hezbollah called upon all Muslims to stand up against the Israeli incursions and defend the al-Aqsa Mosque through all available means.
Ansarullah movement also stated that it will extend all forms of support to Palestinian resistance groups and Lebanon’s Hezbollah in case of a military confrontation with Israel over its violent raids on the al-Aqsa Mosque.
Israeli minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant said that the regime is ready on all fronts to wage a new war.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed shock and concern about Israeli forces’ incursions into the mosque, and said, “Places of worship should only be used for peaceful religious observances.”
