Hezbollah leader threatens to escalate his group’s fighting in ‘holy war,’ says US will have to ‘pay dearly’

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah on Friday threatened to escalate his group’s involvement in the fighting in Gaza, as he warned that the US would have to pay for supporting the Jewish state in what he called a “holy war”

In lengthy televised remarks on Friday, Nasrallah fell short of saying Hezbollah would get involved in Hamas’ fight in Gaza, claiming it is “already doing its part” by drawing Israeli forces north to the border with Lebanon — and away from the southern border with Gaza.
