militants attacked Israel nearly a month ago.

MPR's Ruth Sherlock reports the question now is whether Hezbollah will join a moss in its

war with Israel.

Hasbullah leader Hassanastala indicated the group isn't yet ready to engage in an all-out

war, but he warned all options remain on the table. The militia has been

active on the Lebanese border with Israel with slowly escalating attacks on

Israeli forces. Nasrallah said the objective of these attacks was to draw Israeli

military resources away from Gaza. He issued a pretty stark warning to the United

States calling on it to pressure Israel to stop the war on Gaza, and he said,

if the US doesn't do this, it could risk causing a regional war.

He said the degree to which Hezbollah intervenes militarily depends in large part on what happens

in Gaza.
