Israel warns Hezbollah crossed red line, promising intensified attacks to defend Galilee and Golan communities.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement Monday evening declaring that Israel will intensify its campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“We are at war with Hezbollah,” Netanyahu said, noting that Israeli soldiers have eliminated more than 600 terrorists in recent weeks. He stressed that Israel is not slowing down and must increase pressure on the Iranian-backed terror group.
Netanyahu also addressed the growing threat of cyber-guided drones launched toward Israel, saying a special team is working on the problem and that Israel will solve it. He promised that the IDF will increase both the force and intensity of its strikes.
Earlier, Northern Command chief Rafi Milo issued a sharp warning to Hezbollah during a ceremony for the Golan Brigade. He said Israel will no longer tolerate attacks on civilian communities and that Hezbollah has crossed a severe and unacceptable red line.
Milo said Northern Command is already at war and accused Hezbollah of deliberately escalating the situation in the north by directly targeting Israeli civilians.
His warning came after several drones struck northern Israel. One exploded near a children’s bus stop in Shomera, though no injuries were reported. Another explosive drone sparked a fire in a wooded area near Rosh HaNikra, prompting fire and rescue teams to respond.
Israel’s message is clear: Hezbollah’s attacks on civilians will not become routine, and the IDF is preparing stronger action to protect northern residents.
