Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah is underestimating Israel's strength, just like in 2006.
" I chose to come to Kiryat Shmona on the day of the anti-tank fire on us. Hezbollah greatly underestimated us in 2006 and is underestimating us again ," he said.
In July 2006, after ambushing an Israeli military patrol, Israeli forces crossed the border into Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah positions, while airstrikes also targeted Hezbollah infrastructure and commanders.
Netanyahu said Hezbollah faced overwhelming power to do whatever was necessary to restore security in the north.
" We will do everything to restore security in the north and allow your families, because many of you are locals, to return home safely and know that we cannot be messed with. We will do whatever it takes. Of course, we prefer that this be done without a broad campaign, but that will not stop us" We gave them an example of what is happening to their friends in the south, so it will happen here in the north. We will do everything to restore security ," he said.
