The appeal came on Friday as Israel intensified its strikes on southern Lebanon. 'Not Lebanon, not Saudi Arabia, and not any other place or party in the world,' he said. He said that if the resistance was eliminated, 'the turn will come for the other states', Al Jazeera reported. Tensions between Saudi Arabia and Hezbollah have endured for years, rooted in the broader rivalry between Riyadh and Tehran, Hezbollah's main backer. Meanwhile, Lebanon's Ministry of Health said two people were killed and 11 others injured in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Friday.
