Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has threatened the Lebanese
Resistance Movement Hezbollah, warning that it would be the Lebanese
citizens who would pay the price in an escalation of the conflict, Israeli
media reported.

Speaking during a visit to the troops in northern Israel on Saturday,
Gallant said that Hezbollah is “close to making a grave mistake,” according
to The Times of Israel.

“Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into a war that may happen, and it is making
mistakes,” Gallant said. “

If it makes mistakes of this kind, the ones who will pay the price are
first of all the citizens of Lebanon. What we are doing in Gaza we know how
to do in Beirut,” the minister added.

Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, on October 7, Hezbollah has
engaged directly, but relatively in a limited way in the war against the
Israeli occupation.

According to Hezbollah sources, the movement has killed and wounded many
Israeli soldiers, while targeting numerous military bases, intelligence
installations, and other Israeli positions across the Lebanon-Israel border.

Israel has occupied parts of Lebanon for decades and has only left the
country in 2000, following stiff Lebanese resistance under Hezbollah’s
leadership.

It attempted to re-occupy Lebanon in 2006 but failed in what Lebanon
considers a major victory against Israel.

Israel, however, continues to occupy parts of Lebanon, namely the Sheeba
Farms region.

Hezbollah has vowed to recover every inch of Lebanon that has been occupied
by Israel contrary to international law.
