We’ll strike and attack Lebanon as we did in 2006 if…
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened that his military will pound and attack it’s northern neighbour as it did in 2006 when the Iran-backed Hezbollah joined the battle.
Netanyahu, whose military is still fighting Hamas and Palestinians in the blockaded Gaza strip, is facing challenges at home for not nipping the devastating attack in the bud. Hamas killed more than 1,000 Israelis two weeks ago.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said, “If Hezbollah decides to enter the war, it will long for the Second Lebanon War.” Israel pounded Lebanon and partially occupied Lebanese capital Beirut in 2006.
In that 2006 conflict, Israel lost 165 people including civilians while the Israeli neighbour counted more than 1,000. Hezbollah is already launching rockets into Israel, some of which are intercepted.
He further warned Hezbollah, “It will be making the mistake of its life,” Netanyahu continued, according to a transcript seen by Israeli media. “We will strike it with unimaginable strength and the significance to it and to the country of Lebanon will be devastating.”
