The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah group, Hassan Nasrallah, engaged in talks on Wednesday with senior members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. This meeting brought together three prominent anti-Israel militant organizations amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The discussions aimed to coordinate their actions during what was described as a "sensitive stage."

Their shared objective, as conveyed in a statement published in Hezbollah-run and Lebanese state media, was to achieve a "real victory for the resistance in Gaza and Palestine" and to end Israel's "treacherous and brutal aggression against our oppressed and steadfast people in Gaza and the West Bank." However, no specific details about the plans were provided.

These discussions took place in Beirut while the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, entered its third week. The conflict was triggered by a deadly incursion by Hamas into Israel on October 7, resulting in casualties on both sides. The toll on the Palestinian side has been particularly high, with over 5,700 fatalities in Gaza.

Tensions have also risen along the Lebanon-Israel border, where Hezbollah members have engaged in skirmishes with Israeli troops since the day following Hamas' incursion into Israel. These exchanges have been localized to specific border towns and military positions, with Lebanese army soldiers and United Nations peacekeeping forces heavily deployed in the area.

Hezbollah has reported the loss of several fighters in these clashes, and the Israeli military has also confirmed casualties among its personnel. However, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has not publicly commented on the war in Gaza or the border clashes. Other high-ranking Hezbollah officials have cautioned Israel against launching a ground invasion into Gaza.

Israeli officials have responded with threats of significant retaliation in the event of a cross-border attack by Hezbollah from Lebanon. They have expressed the intent to respond with overwhelming force.

The Lebanese caretaker government, grappling with financial difficulties, along with regional and international actors, has been working to prevent Lebanon from becoming further embroiled in the conflict. This development underscores the complex and volatile dynamics in the region, with multiple parties and actors involved in the ongoing conflict.
