Gemayel to Nasrallah: Stop the farce of the Gaza support front

Kataeb Party chief Sami Gemayel on Thursday warned that “we are on the verge of repeating the Gaza experience in south Lebanon,” as he offered condolences over the civilians and paramedics who were killed by Israeli strikes over the past days.

“The Israeli killing has started to take an indiscriminate nature and the condemned and deplorable criminality is now targeting innocents and unarmed people,” Gemayel said in a post on the X platform.

Hezbollah chief “Sayyed Hassan (Nasrallah), stop the farce of the support front and Israel’s distraction, seeing as you are bringing destruction to the south,” Gemayel added.

Hezbollah had activated Lebanon’s southern front with Israel on October 8 in solidarity with the Palestinians and the Hamas Movement following the latter’s unprecedented attack on southern Israel and the brutal war that ensued.

There have been near-daily clashes between Hezbollah and Israel ever since, resulting in the death of at least 346 people in Lebanon, most of them Hezbollah fighters but also over 60 civilians.

Tens of thousands of people have also been displaced by the violence in Lebanon's south and Israel's north and Israel has threatened to launch a military operation against Hezbollah to push it away from the border.
