Hezbollah deputy leader says confrontation with Israel is now 'open-ended battle of reckoning', Macron sez France stands with Lebanon - both powerless to effect events
[GEO.TV] Hezbollah deputy secretary-general Naim Qassem

said that the group had entered a new phase of its battle with Israel which he described as an "open-ended battle of reckoning," in comments made on Sunday during a funeral for a top commander killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday.
