Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah met with the head of the political bureau of Hamas , Ismail Haniyeh , according to a statement issued by the party on Sunday.

And Hezbollah announced in a statement that Nasrallah met with Haniyeh, who arrived in Beirut on Wednesday, "where they reviewed the most important developments in occupied Palestine, the course of events in Al-Aqsa Mosque and the escalating resistance in the West Bank and Gaza Strip."

The two allied leaders also discussed "the political developments in the region in general, the readiness of the resistance axis, and the cooperation of its parties in confronting all these events and developments."

During the past years, Haniyeh visited Lebanon several times, where he usually meets Nasrallah.

The region is witnessing escalating tension after the Israeli police stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday night and arrested about 350 Palestinians who had barricaded themselves in it during the month of Ramadan. Muslims usually retreat during this month in Al-Aqsa Mosque to perform night prayers.

In the aftermath, Palestinian factions vowed to launch revenge attacks. Haniyeh confirmed Thursday from Lebanon that the factions will not stand "idly by" in the face of the Israeli "aggression" on Al-Aqsa Mosque.

On the night of Tuesday-Wednesday, several rockets were fired from the northern Gaza Strip towards Israel.

On Thursday, at least 34 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon towards Israel, which shot down most of them, accusing Palestinian factions of being behind them, likely to be Hamas or Islamic Jihad, and at the same time ruling out any role for Hezbollah, its arch-enemy backed by Iran.

On Friday, the Israeli army carried out raids on the Gaza Strip, and limited strikes on the area from which the rockets were launched in southern Lebanon.

On Saturday night, the Israeli army announced that it had launched ground and air strikes on sites in Syria, after firing missiles from them towards the occupied Golan Heights.

The official Syrian News Agency (SANA) quoted a military source as saying that Israeli planes carried out "air aggression with a number of missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan," targeting points in the south of the country.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the Israeli bombardment targeted sites of the Syrian army in the southern governorates of As-Suwayda, Daraa and Quneitra.

This comes at a time when Israel is preparing to deploy security reinforcements in the wake of two attacks on Friday that killed three people, an Italian tourist and two Israeli-British sisters, in Tel Aviv and the occupied West Bank.

On Saturday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that a Palestinian youth was killed by Israeli forces in the northern West Bank.

And the Israeli police announced that it would deploy additional Border Police forces starting Sunday in the city centers, in addition to the units that have already been called up in the Jerusalem area and the city of Lod.
