It appears Hezbollah is at least for now sitting this one out. It could be they are waiting for Israel to commit their ground forces in Gaza in order to cause maximum pressure when Hezbollah does move, so we can't yet be sure. To some extent this "calm" supports the idea Iran was not the one who "ordered" the Hamas attack. Since Hamas is Sunni and both Hezbollah and Iran are Shia it also might highlight an inherent distance between Iran and Hamas. They probably do not fully trust each other. Iran may very well regard Hamas as "useful idiots" who stepped out of line. That would be very "good" for the world if so, as it lessens the probability of this conflict spreading. Right now, one "world actor", Russia, really wants this conflict to spread and suck all the oxygen out of the support for Ukraine. The US needs to make sure that doesn't happen, for many reasons.
