Kirby: US Hasn't Seen Signs Of Hezbollah Entering Conflict

SECURITY

White House National Security Council Spokesperson, John Kirby, has told reporters that the US has yet to see evidence that Hezbollah is preparing to widen the war between Israel and Hamas.

  • On the prospect of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah making his first formal address tomorrow, Kirby says, "we'll see what he has to say... our message to him, and anyone else thinking of widening the conflict, is you shouldn't do it."
  • Kirby: "Obviously we are concerned about continued attacks on Israeli force in the North but I don't believe we have seen any indication that Hezbollah is ready to go in full force, so we'll see what [Nasrallah] has to say."
