Tensions rise on Israel-Lebanon border ahead of Nasrallah’s speech

Tensions continue to rise on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon ahead of a Friday afternoon speech by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, his first public comments since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. FRANCE 24’s correspondent in Beirut Rawad Taha says Nasrallah’s silence up until now has been “very mysterious”, and that many in Lebanon fear the conflict between Israel and Hamas could escalate into a regional war.
