[Israel's Minister of Economy Nir] Barkat, in an interview with the Daily Mail, warned that Israel would view an escalation in Hezbollah's actions as an attack by Iran.
"The plan of Iran is to attack Israel on all fronts. If we find they intend to target Israel, we will not just retaliate to those fronts, but we will go to the head of the snake, which is Iran," he said.
Barkat threatened "we are going to make sure they pay a heavy price if, God forbid, they open the northern front."
"Lebanon and Hezbollah are going to pay a heavy price, similar to what Hamas is going to pay. But that's not enough," he said. "The very clear message is that we are going to be going after the heads of Iran as well. When will we do that? When we decide."
Barkat continued: "Israel has a very clear message to our enemies. We are saying to them, look what's happening in Gaza—you are going to get the same treatment if you attack us. We are going to wipe you off the face of the Earth."...
Jonathan Conricus, a spokesperson for Israel's military, said Sunday that Hezbollah is "dragging Lebanon into a war that it will gain nothing from, but stands to lose a lot," according to Lebanese news site Naharnet.
He said that the Lebanese militant group is "playing a very, very dangerous game. They're escalating the situation. We see more and more attacks every day.

Not a smart comment to make. Israel needs to focus on Gaza until the Hamas is destroyed and until it is de-militarized.
The world would be a much more peaceful place if Israel carried-out their threat.
With “net zero” civilian* casualties.
🙏🇮🇱👍
*None are “civilians”.
Israel is focussed, but needs to keep Iran at bay too
Iran understands threats, so this is useful ...
They have been using “laser beams” against their nuclear program. Maybe it is time to use the sledgehammer.
sad, but not sad at the same time

A Palestinian man celebrates on the streets of Gaza as Hamas fires rockets over his head toward Israel.
Soon after, he posts a video of himself crying in a hospital after an Israeli airstrike

Hamas has said over and over again they want to kill every Jew and Christian in the world. Good luck with that.
Iran intends to get nuclear weapons and eventually attack Israel AND the United States.
These people are mortal enemies. Period.
They will. God said so.
Same for me.
Amen!
Iran is to Israel what Pakistan is to India. Both conduct acts of terror by sponsoring proxy groups and have been doing for decades
Oh no...anyways
Drone the terrorist chiefs the way Trump did.
God the Father is on the Throne. He will battle Satan.
Let us continue to show love for one another. Let our armies with the armor God, our Holy Father, God of the Bible, handle this.
Continue to pray !
If the jews eliminate the threat, all that free laundered money from the US dries up. So, they have an interest in having a forever war.
Israel gave people of Gaza a warning to evacuate. Most did. What if they gave Teheran 48 hours to do the same thing? The inference would be clear. Doesn’t mean they have to go ahead and drop the big one but the holy city of Qom has how many mosques? Wouldn’t take the big one. Just a few MOAB’s.
He’s reminding them of the Samson Option.
