Hezbollah leader warns Israel of war with 'no red lines,' threatens Cyprus

• Hezbollah vowed a fight with "no red lines" if full-out war erupts between Lebanon and Israel, warning neighboring Cyprus against getting mired in the conflict.
• Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the Lebanese militant group has information that Israel is "conducting maneuvers in preparation for the Lebanon war" in Cyprus.
• Cyprus' President Nikos Christodoulides on Wednesday stressed that his country is not involved in the conflict and is, in fact, part of the solution.

The leader of Hezbollah has vowed a fight with "no rules and with no red lines" if full-out war erupts between the Lebanese militant group and Israel, warning Cyprus against getting mired in the conflict.

Lebanon and Israel have regularly traded cross-border fire since the start of the Jewish state's war against Palestinian militant group Hamas — which, like Hezbollah, is backed by Iran — in the Gaza Strip. Fire exchanges have intensified since an Israeli airstrike last week killed a senior Hezbollah commander, Taleb Sami Abdullah, along with three other group operatives.

In a televised speech at the official's memorial service on Wednesday, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said: "Israel knows very well that no place will be safe from our missiles and drones" in the event of a war between the neighboring states, according to comments carried by the Hezbollah-aligned al-Manar TV news outlet.

He added that Hezbollah has now "obtained new weapons," but did not share any more details. The group often uses rockets, anti-tank missiles and Burkan heavy warhead rockets, which are modeled off the Iranian Ababil drones, according to Seth Frantzman, adjunct fellow at the U.S.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies think
