Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stern warning to Hezbollah leader Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, cautioning against any misadventures in northern Israel.
Netanyahu's response comes in the wake of Nasrallah's recent speech on Friday, in which the Hezbollah leader declared that his group, in collaboration with Yemeni and Iraqi factions, had joined forces with the intention of launching attacks on Israel.
Netanyahu said,“Don’t get us wrong. There will not be any cease fire until all our hostages are free,”.
He made it unequivocally clear that Israel would not accept a temporary ceasefire and would only consider such an option once all 241 hostages are released.
The situation reflects escalating tensions in the region, with both sides making their positions and demands known.
