Border tension rises: Israel warns Hezbollah it will “pay a very high price”

The conflict between the Hamas group and the State of Israel continues to escalate in violence and expand across the Middle East and this morning, after a series of exchanges of fire, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant assured that Hezbollah “will pay a very high price” if it participates in the war. The relationship between the Lebanese Shiite Muslim organization and Benjamin Netanyahu’s government was never on good terms, but the war that sparked last weekend revived old tensions and left open the possibility of an expansion of the conflict. In this sense, several commanders of the Lebanese group assured that they will enter the war “at the right time.” Despite the fact that the main objective of the Israeli army is to eliminate the Hamas group and avoid expanding the conflict in the Middle East, Gallant issued a new warning to Hezbollah. “We are not interested in a war in the north, we don’t want the situation to escalate. If Hezbollah chooses the path of war, it will pay a very high price,” he said. Armed with approximately 150,000 missiles and rockets, Hezbollah poses the biggest threat to the Israeli army, which has already carried out cross-attacks on the border with Lebanon.Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, after meeting with Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, warned of the power of the Muslim group’s attacks. “I know all the possibilities that Hezbollah has raised. Any step taken by the resistance will cause a huge earthquake in the Zionist entity,” he said.
