Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah will make his first public comments since Israel's war on the besieged Palestinian enclave, a speech that will be scrutinised for clues on how the formidable group's role in the conflict might evolve.

The cross-border attacks heated up on Thursday, as Israel responded with a"broad assault" after Hezbollah attacked 19 Israeli positions simultaneously, according to the group. US President Joe Biden has sent two aircraft carrier groups to the eastern Mediterranean and warned Hezbollah and others to stay out of the conflict.
Others say the decision lies with Iran, which leads the regional"axis of resistance" against Israel, which alongside Hezbollah includes armed groups from Syria, Iraq and Yemen, some of which have attacked Israel and US troops in the region in recent weeks. Hezbollah on Wednesday published a letter from its fighters addressed to Palestinian groups in Gaza, saying they had their"finger with you on the trigger... to support Al Aqsa Mosque and our oppressed brothers in Palestine".
But if Hezbollah fully entered the war,"Lebanon's devastation would turn most communities, perhaps even large segments of the Shia community", against it, he warned last week.
