Lebanon will face “very dangerous consequences” should attacks continue against Israel from Lebanese territory, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

Lebanon has the right to defend itself against Israel, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Monday, a few minutes after the Lebanese Red Cross said it has transferred a dead body from the Arqoub region, rising the death toll in Lebanon to 33.

The Hezbollah-linked Resistance Brigades, also known as Saraya al-Moqawama, announced Monday the death of two of its members "as they performed their national duties."

The Resistance Brigades was created in 1997 by Hezbollah's leadership.

The group was not disbanded after Israel's withdrawal from the South in 2000.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Saturday suggested a "roadmap" to end the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

"I have invited you today to discuss... a roadmap... that would begin by guaranteeing the complete, secure, fast and sustainable flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza's residents, followed by immediate negotiations over pacification and a ceasefire," al-Sisi said at the opening of a summit in Cairo with the leaders of regional countries and senior Western officials.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Saturday that Hezbollah "has decided to participate in the fighting" that is raging between Israel and the Gaza-based Hamas movement.

“Hezbollah has decided to participate in the fighting, and we are exacting a heavy price for this,” said Gallant during a visit to the border with Lebanon, referring to the deadly cross-border exchanges with the Iran-backed group that have been ongoing since the day that followed Hamas' Oct. 7 massive attack on Israel.

U.S. officials acted after they learned that the Israeli defense minister and other military officials supported a pre-emptive strike on Hezbollah, the New York Times has reported.
