It comes as Israel’s war with Lebanon’s Hezbollah group — a Hamas ally backed by Iran — has intensified in recent weeks.
Hezbollah said on Friday that it planned to launch a new phase of fighting by sending more guided missiles and exploding drones into Israel. The militant group’s long-time leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli air strike in late September and Israel sent ground troops into Lebanon earlier this month. A standoff is also ensuing between Israel and Hamas, which it is fighting in Gaza, with both signalling resistance to ending the war after the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar this week.
On Friday, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Mr Sinwar’s death was a painful loss but noted that Hamas carried on despite the killings of other Palestinian militant leaders before him. “Hamas is alive and will stay alive,” Mr Khamenei said..
