Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stern warning, stating that Israel is unwavering in its determination to confront any threat and that enemies will face severe consequences if they attack. In response, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah has declared that Israel's anticipation of Hezbollah's response is part of the punishment. Nasrallah emphasized that Hezbollah, along with Iran, will respond to recent Israeli attacks, including the assassination of military chief Fouad Shukur and Haniyeh. He stated that the response will be strong and effective, regardless of the consequences, and no international mediation will stop it. Nasrallah also criticized the international community for calling on Hezbollah to restrain itself while not condemning Israeli actions. He also mentioned that Hezbollah drones have reached east of Acre and that the bombing of Hudaydah is part of the reason for the response.
