Israeli leader warns Hezbollah during visit to border

JERUSALEM, 20 July 2022, (TON): Israel’s new prime minister paid an unannounced visit to the border with Lebanon, threatening to unleash a harsh military response to what he described as unacceptable aggression by the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group.

The visit came at a time of heightened tensions with Hezbollah, a heavily armed group that fought Israel during a monthlong war in 2006.

On Monday, Israel said it intercepted a drone that crossed from Lebanese territory, and last week, Hezbollah’s leader threatened Israel with military escalation if a dispute over a maritime border is not resolved in Lebanon’s favor.

XYair Lapid said Yair Lapid “Israel is prepared to act against any threat.”
