"Although Hezbollah is noted for its discipline, there are different ideological currents within the organization, and some members may be calling for action, Mr. Goksel said. Those voices would surely grow louder if Hamas appeared to be on the verge of being crushed or eliminated. “If Hamas is really losing, it becomes crucial for Hezbollah to intervene,” said Ms. Saad-Ghorayeb, the author. “This isn’t just a war with Hamas; it’s a war against the whole resistance front,” meaning Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas. For the moment, Hezbollah seems unwilling even to consider that possibility.
