Rivlin warns Hezbollah it will ultimately lead to Lebanon's 'destruction'

President Reuven Rivlin visits the Lebanese border in the area where IDF forces have been working to expose Hezbollah attack tunnels from Lebanon into Israel, and where a fourth passage was found earlier today as part as Operation Northern Shield.

“The IDF is prepared and ready to respond to any scenario forced upon us,” Rivlin tells military commanders. “Hezbollah’s offensive tunnels constitute a flagrant violation of Israeli sovereignty, and the international community must understand that Israel will do whatever it takes to defend itself.”

“Hezbollah, which presents itself as the ‘defender of Lebanon,’ will ultimately lead to its destruction,” Rivlin warns the terror group.

“We see the Lebanese government as responsible for everything that happens in Lebanon, and we are warning Hezbollah not to impose an Iranian agenda on Lebanon, or to use it to attack Israel.”
