Hezbollah’s deputy leader said that the terror group would stop its 8-month-long missile attacks against Israel if the Jewish State agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza.
“If there is a ceasefire in Gaza, we will stop without any discussion,” Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Qassem says the motivation for the nearly daily attacks against Israel has been a “support front” for the war in Gaza, and if that war ends, the attacks will stop.
He added that if Israel simply reduces the intensity of its Gaza campaign without declaring a ceasefire, it isn’t clear if Hezbollah will cease attacking Israel.
“If what happens in Gaza is a mix between ceasefire and no ceasefire, war and no war, we can’t answer [how we would react] now, because we don’t know its shape, its results, its impacts,” Qassem said.
