To the question that concerns Israeli public opinion, but also the international community, that is if the leader of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah will announce on Friday new front against the IDF on Friday, the former leader said of Israeli Military Intelligence Maj. Gen Amos Malka to Times of Israel.

When asked about the Hezbollah leader’s expected speech on Friday afternoon, Malka stated that “right now (in Israel) we are in a focused battle on the southern front, but we see what has happened in recent weeks on the northern border. We try at this moment to avoid opening a (new) front”, write down.

“I think he’ll try to make every effort not to get involved in a wider operation.”, Malka said. “You know we all take calculated risks, but when we make a mistake in a ‘calculated risk’ it becomes dangerous. I think he will try to do something which will not tempt Israel to open a front.”

Malka declared with conviction that it is not in Iran’s interest to allow Hezbollah to declare war on Israel at this time. “I think Iran has created these capabilities for Hezbollah for the moment when Iran itself will need it, and less to pay the price by participating in Hamas operations. My logical thoughts, and I assume others, are that (Nasrallah’s) interest in opening a full front is not high (in his priorities), but never say never.”
