The conflict between the Israeli forces and the Hezbollah on Israel’s border with Lebanon.

With today’s statements, the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu warns Hezbollah “not to play with fire.”

“There are those who believe they can expand their attacks against our troops and against civilians. They are playing with fire,” Netanyahu said. “Fire will be met with much stronger fire. We must not be tested, for we have shown only a small part of our power. We will harm those who harm us,” he added.

Netanyahu visited the Desert Reconnaissance Battalion of the Israeli Armyalso known as Unit 585 or the Bedouin Battalion, hailing the unit’s actions during the Hamas offensive on October 7 and beyond.

“Our cooperation is the future of all of us against these savages,” he tells the soldiers. “We will win. There are no pauses. This is not an operation, this is not another round of combat. Let’s go here for total victory. We will restore security in the north and in the south…Hamas will be eliminated,” the Israeli prime minister stressed.
