Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah recently honored the late Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh during a speech he delivered on Thursday. This tribute followed the funeral of Hezbollah commander Fu’ad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut earlier in the week.
Israel had accused Hezbollah of carrying out a fatal attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights over the past weekend. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza has further escalated tensions in the region.
This week saw the targeted killings of two prominent figures from Iranian-backed groups, adding to the already volatile situation. Israel took responsibility for the assassination of Shukr, although they have not officially confirmed or denied any involvement in the death of Haniyeh in Tehran.
