    Beirut CNN —
    The leader of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah threatened Wednesday to target the European island of Cyprus if war breaks out between Israel and Lebanon.

    “Cyprus will be part of this war too” if it opens its airports and bases to Israeli forces, Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised address that came just a day after Israel warned the powerful Iran-backed militant group that the prospect of “all-out war” was “getting very close.”

    The comments by the Hezbollah leader are the first time he has threatened Cyprus, a member of the European Union that lies in the Mediterranean sea, roughly 125 miles (200 kilometers) from Lebanon, and which has held joint military exercises with Israel since 2014 and as recently as last year.

    I am sure Hezbollah has missiles and drones that can fly all the way to Cyprus.

    But bombing Cyprus might not help to free the innocent Palestinians who are held in the

    world's biggest mega open-air prison by the Israelis

    after the Nakba.

    Cyprus has made a grave miscalculation. EU has no benefit in participating in Israel's massacre. Cyprus dug its own grave.
