<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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. </span></p>
<p><span>“Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into a war that may happen, and it is making mistakes,” Gallant said. “</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>Israel has occupied parts of Lebanon for decades and has only
left the country in 2000, following stiff Lebanese resistance under
Hezbollah’s leadership. </span></p>
<p><span>It attempted to re-occupy Lebanon in 2006 but failed in what Lebanon considers a major victory against Israel. </span></p>
<p><span>Israel, however, continues to occupy parts of Lebanon, namely the Sheeba Farms region.</span></p>
<p><span>Hezbollah has vowed to recover every inch of Lebanon that has been occupied by Israel contrary to international law.</span></p>
