In Gaza conflict, Hezbollah stays on sidelines

BEIRUT (AP) — While the death toll from the Israel-Gaza conflict has mounted, Hezbollah has offered quiet words of encouragement to the Palestinians, pledging support and calling on Arab states to send them weapons to fight Israel. But beyond that, the Lebanese militant group appears to be staying firmly on the sidelines.

Despite its own formidable missile arsenal and its reputation as the region’s leading anti-Israel resistance force, Hezbollah is approaching the Gaza crisis with caution, mindful that any action it takes could backfire at a time when the group faces unprecedented challenges at home.

Hezbolla, just like Hamas is a puppet of the mullah's of Iran. If Hezbolla is quiet, it is because Iran has told them to keep quiet.
