Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Tuesday (24) that Israel’s war is not with Lebanon, but with Hezbollah and its leadership.
“I say to the people of Lebanon: Our war is not with you. Our war is with Hezbollah. (The group’s leader, Hassan) Nasrallah is leading you to the brink of the abyss,” Netanyahu said during a visit to an intelligence base.
The prime minister said he had warned the Lebanese people to leave places where Hezbollah has weapons – including homes.
“I said yesterday to leave the houses where he placed a missile in the living room and a rocket in the garage. Whoever has a missile in the living room and a rocket in the garage will not have a house,” he said.
Netanyahu commented that the leader of the armed group “puts your country in danger. Free yourself from the clutches of Hezbollah. Free yourself from the clutches of Nasrallah, for your own good.”
Benjamin Netanyahu made similar comments on Monday (23), saying his country is not at war with the people of Lebanon but with Hezbollah. He also called on the Lebanese people to “get out of harm’s way” as Israel targets Hezbollah’s positions.
