that the conflict in Syria has 15:58 strengthened hezbollah's military capabilities Israel has increased its bombings on groups in Syria associated 16:05 with Iran as a result of hezbollah's Engagement in the conflict hezbollah's principal adversary since the Israeli 16:12 invasion of South Lebanon in 1978 is Israel Hezbollah has been 16:17 implicated in assaults on Israeli and Jewish targets abroad such as the Argentine car bombing of a Jewish 16:24 Community Center in 1994 that claimed 85 lives 16:29 tensions between the two parties also grew as a result of the bombing of the

that the organization had taken credit for 17:36 Rockets fired into Israel with Iran's support the armed elements have grown more and more hazardous for Israel 17:43 Western officials claim that Iran supplied Hezbollah with its cuttingedge anti-ship and anti-armor weaponry which 17:50 it used to assault Israel according to officials Hezbollah is becoming a more 17:55 serious threat to Israel due to the more accurate weapons that Iran has has delivered hezbollah's most overt display 18:02 of animosity towards Israel was caused by the conflict between Israel and Hamas 18:07 Hezbollah

Israel Hamas insists 18:36 that neither organization was engaged in organizing the operation in 2023 even if Hamas disputes these 18:43 allegations of backing Israel will probably have to battle on two fronts going forward due to the violence that 18:50 has broken out on the border between Lebanon and Israel tens of thousands of 18:55 people have been displaced by the violence on both sides of theorder order which has made lebanon's already fragile 19:01 economy even worse after Hezbollah vowed to attack important Israeli targets and 19:07 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced
