On Lebanese border, Herzog warns Hezbollah not to test Israel’s resolve

Standing on Israel’s border with Lebanon as tensions rise with Hezbollah, President Isaac Herzog warns the powerful Shiite terror group not to test Israel’s resolve.

“I want to tell our enemies — especially Hezbollah on the other side of the border — don’t be mistaken,” he says. “The IDF is strong, it is united. It is capable and will protect and defend our sovereignty and the security and well-being of the people of Israel. This is our top priority.”

Herzog also expresses sympathy for Lebanon’s citizens: “We extend our hands to the Lebanese people. They don’t deserve this, they don’t deserve the Iranian spell that kills and ruins many parts of their country. They definitely don’t deserve the involvement of Hezbollah, which undermines their stability and well-being.”
