A senior Hezbollah figure stated that if Israel carries out a direct attack on Iran, the group will enter the campaign fully.

A senior Hezbollah figure warned Saturday evening that if Israel carries out a direct attack on Iran, the group will join the campaign fully. The threat, first reported by The Zioneer at 20:46 Jerusalem, was reiterated in a new statement published by the Bezq news channel.
An IDF source told the same outlet that the defense establishment is closely tracking the situation, given the possibility that an Israeli strike on Iran could trigger a response from Iran-backed proxies such as Hezbollah. The source did not specify whether the IDF has changed its operational posture.
The warning comes amid heightened regional tensions and follows a series of similar threats from Hezbollah and other Iran-aligned militias in recent weeks. The Zioneer earlier reported on threats from Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades and Iranian officials warning of direct retaliation.
The new statement adds an Israeli security perspective to the ongoing standoff, though no operational changes have been announced.
