Nasrallah promises 'all means of support' for Gaza 'resistance'

Iran and Hezbollah may see opportunity in the Gaza crisis; tunnels represent a "second Gaza" for Israel Defense Forces; Al-Monitor reports from Gaza on the civilian costs of the war; Saudi Arabia’s Turki Al Faisal calls Israel’s attack on Gaza a "barbaric assault"; the battle for Aleppo begins soon.

Iran’s card in Gaza

Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah pledged "all means of support" for the "Palestinian resistance" in a July 25 speech in Beirut.

Speaking on Jerusalem Day, Nasrallah said, “We, in Hezbollah, stand beside the Palestinian people and the Palestinian resistance without an exception. We will not spare any means of support that we can and are able to provide. We feel that we are true partners with the Palestinian resistance. … Your victory is our own.”
