Hezbollah Leader Threatens Israel and Cyprus Amid Worsening Regional Tensions

Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has issued a series of threats against Israel, warning that there will be "no place safe from our missiles and drones" if a broader war breaks out. He also stated that invading northern Israel is a possibility if a major Israeli offensive is imposed on Lebanon. Nasrallah claimed that the group has a "bank of targets" that it could target in precision strikes, and published drone footage of sensitive military sites deep in Israeli territory. The Israeli military has approved operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon, according to reports. Nasrallah's warnings have been met with concern from some quarters, including Cyprus, which has a bilateral defense cooperation agreement with Israel and has conducted joint exercises with the country.
