Israel eyes military backup from Greece, Cyprus as tensions mount

Hezbollah leader warns Cyprus against aiding Israel

Newsroom

Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev announced that Israel might seek military assistance from the Israeli Air Force and naval support from Athens and Larnaca if the country is attacked.

The announcement follows a warning from Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah to Cyprus against supporting Israel in any conflict with Lebanon.

These developments come amid rising tensions, with fears of a significant attack by Hezbollah and Iran on Israel. The tensions have escalated after the assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran and Hezbollah military leader Fouad Shoukr during an Israeli operation in southern Beirut.
