Israeli Reserve Major General Eyal Ben-Reuven has spoken to Israel’s Maariv newspaper about the possibility of starting a war against the Lebanese armed group, Hezbollah.

He said Israel’s political leadership should tell the public that Hezbollah is stronger than Hamas and that a war with it would be “difficult”.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has said in a statement on its Telegram channel that it launched drone strikes on Israel on Saturday.

It said the hit on the Israeli military targets came “in continuation of our approach to resisting the occupation, in support of our people in Gaza”.
