The threat that a second front in Israel’s war against Gaza in the north might open up involving Hezbollah is ever present. “If Hezbollah decides to enter the war, it will long for the Second Lebanon War,” Netanyahu warned yesterday, according to his office, referring to Israel’s 2006 war against Lebanon, reported the Times of Israel. “It will be making the mistake of its life. We will strike it with strength that it cannot even imagine and the significance to it and to the country of Lebanon will be devastating.”
Netanyahu told IDF troops that “I know that you lost friends, and it’s a very difficult thing, but we are in the fight of our life, a fight for our home. That’s not an exaggeration, it’s not an overstatement, that’s this war. It is kill or be killed, and they need to be killed.”
