Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah issued a warning to Cyprus, stating that the island would be targeted if it assists Israel in a conflict with the Lebanese militant group. The threat came amidst escalating tensions in the region, with Israel cautioning that the possibility of a full-scale war in Lebanon was growing closer.
Cyprus swiftly denied any involvement in the conflict, with President Nikos Christodoulides emphasizing that the country is not engaged in war operations.
