BEIRUT, Lebanon (AA) - Lebanese group Hezbollah and Palestinian resistance movement Islamic Jihad discussed the developments in the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank.
A meeting between Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ziyad Al-Nakhalah reviewed the situation in the Palestinian territories, Lebanon's National News Agency reported Monday without specifying the date of the meeting.
Both parties also discussed the assistance provided by the "Axis of Resistance" in Gaza, southern Lebanon and Yemen, the agency said.
Tension has flared along the border between Lebanon and Israel amid intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.
The border tension comes amid an Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.
