Thousands of fighters from Iran-backed groups in the Middle East are ready to come to Lebanon to join with the terrorist Hezbollah group in its battle with Israel if the simmering conflict escalates into a full-blown war, officials with Iran-backed factions and analysts say.
Almost daily exchanges of fire have occurred along Lebanon's frontier with northern Israel since fighters from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip staged a bloody assault on southern Israel in early October that set off a war in Gaza.
Egypt's foreign minister said on Monday that the flow of aid into Gaza has not increased despite an agreement last week between Israel and the European Union that should have had that result.
The Israeli army announced Monday that it had carried out strikes on several tanks near the southern Syrian city of Sweida, amid ongoing clashes between Sunni Bedouin tribes and Druze fighters that have reportedly left dozens dead.
Hardline Iranian lawmaker Esmail Kosari said any closure of the Strait of Hormuz was still under review but no decision has yet been made, in comments carried by Iran's state media on Monday.
