Hezbollah's daily cross-border fire with Israel over Gaza war has been met with opposition from various political parties in Lebanon.

Samir Geagea, the head of the Christian political party Lebanese Forces, has accused Hezbollah of dragging the country into war with Israel.

In a speech in northern Beirut, Geagea said Hezbollah is making decisions on war and peace without consulting the people, acting as if there is no state.

He said the war has brought nothing to Gaza and urged the government to stop Hezbollah's fight.

Notably, more than 600 people have been killed in Lebanon in Israeli strikes. Though most of those killed were Hezbollah fighters, at least 132 civilians have been caught in the crossfire.
