Israel will “continue to hit Hezbollah,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says on a visit to an IDF intelligence base.

Addressing the people of Lebanon, Netanyahu stresses that “our war is not with you, our war is with Hezbollah.”

“[Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah is leading you to the brink of the abyss,” says Netanyahu. “I told you yesterday to evacuate the houses where he put a missile in the living room and a rocket in the garage. He who has a missile in his living room and a rocket in his garage will not have a home.”

Netanyahu says that Nasrallah is putting Lebanon in danger: “Free yourself from the grip of Hezbollah; Free yourself from Nasrallah’s grip, for your own good.”
