Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant did say on Wednesday, however, that his country's war with Iran's so-called proxy groups in the region had entered a "new phase," announcing a shift to the north of Israel after 11 months of intense conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The leader of Hezbollah says this week’s deadly attacks on the group’s communications devices were a “severe blow” that crossed a “red line.”

Israel allegedly set up a shell company that has supplied Hezbollah with pagers since 2022, according to a US media report.
