Israel is “prepared for an extremely powerful action in the north,” warns Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a visit to Kiryat Shmona on the border with Lebanon, where fighting between the IDF and Hezbollah has escalated significantly in recent days.
“Whoever thinks that he can harm us and we will sit with our hands clasped has made a major mistake,” says Netanyahu.
Large blazes broke out in northern Israel earlier this week, some of which were sparked by Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks.
“The ground burned yesterday and I am happy you put it out,” he tells firefighters, “but the ground also burned in Lebanon.”
Netanyahu also meets with IDF forces from Brigade 769 to discuss operations against Hezbollah.
