‘Won’t Tolerate…’: Netanyahu Warns Hezbollah After 100 Rockets Fired Into Israel Amid Rising Tensions | 10 Points – News18

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said Israel has “landed a series of blows on Hezbollah”, after the Iran-backed militant group fired 100 rockets deep into the northern parts of the country. This has sparked concerns of an all-out war following months of escalating tension as the United Nations also took stock of the situation.

Netanyahu said the message should be clear to Hezbollah, which earlier said it targeted military production facilities and an air base near Haifa in northern Israel. This, the group said, was in retaliation to Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon.

“In recent days, we have landed a series of blows on Hezbollah that it could have never imagined. If Hezbollah did not get the message, I assure you it will get the message,” he said in a statement.

He added: “No country can tolerate attacks on its citizens, attacks on its cities. And we, the State of Israel, will not tolerate it either,” he said.

He further vowed to return residents of northern Israel displaced by nearly a year of fighting to their homes, while Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said their forces will continue to pursue their war goals.
