Netanyahu Issues Strong Warning Against Iran and Hezbollah

In response to escalating tensions, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a strong warning to Iran and Hezbollah, cautioning against any attack on Jerusalem. Netanyahu asserted that Israel would not hesitate to deliver severe blows, surpassing what they might have anticipated. He emphasized the continuation of the war against Hamas in Gaza, stating that it would persist for months.

Regarding Hezbollah, Netanyahu disclosed that operational plans to combat the group have been approved. He warned of significant retaliation if Hezbollah extends its hostilities against Israel, affirming, "If Hezbollah expands the war, it will face unprecedented consequences, along with Iran. We will take all necessary actions to restore security to the residents of the north."

While Netanyahu expressed a preference for diplomatic solutions to secure the northern border, he underscored Israel's readiness to act decisively should such diplomatic efforts fail. He positioned Iran as a leading force behind the "axis of evil and aggression" against Israel, vowing that Israel would not shy away from taking actions to ensure the security and safety of its citizens.
