The head of Hezbollah has said Lebanon will be “exposed” to more Israeli operations if his powerful Lebanese armed group does not respond to the killing of the deputy chief of Hamas on the outskirts of Beirut, Reuters reports.

Delivering a televised address for the second time in less than a week after nearly two months without doing so, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said the group “cannot be silent about a violation of this level.”

“This means that all of Lebanon will become exposed, all cities, villages, and figures will become exposed,” he said.

He also said that if the Israeli military managed to achieve its military goals in Gaza, it would then turn to Lebanon.
