Hezbollah praises 'heroic Palestinian response' to Israel crimes
Hezbollah congratulated Hamas Saturday, praising the Palestinian "heroic" and "victorious" infiltration into southern Israel.
In a statement, Hezbollah said it is following up with the Palestinian factions on the operation, and called on Israel to "draw lessons" from it.
The group added that the operation is a "response to the occupation's continuous crimes and violations."
It called on the Arab and Islamic nations and on all "the free people of the world" to support the Palestinian people and the resistance movements.
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip had carried out an unprecedented infiltration Saturday into southern Israel and fired thousands of rockets into Israel as the ruling Hamas militant group announced the beginning of a new operation.
The militants had "divine backing," Hezbollah said.
Israel began striking targets in Gaza in response, setting the stage for what was likely to be a new heavy round of fighting between the bitter enemies.
