War Of Words Between Israel And Hezbollah Intensifies



Haaretz: Netanyahu Warns Hezbollah of 'Lethal Force' Following Nasrallah Comments on Attack Tunnels

PM refutes the group's leader recent comments on attack tunnels entering from Lebanon being obsolete, says the organization is 'embarrassed'.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked on Sunday Nasrallah's comments on the military operations to destroy the attack tunnels entering Israel from Lebanon, warning that Hezbollah faces "the lethal force of the Israel Defense Forces."

On Saturday Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah made his first public comments since Israel announced the discovery of the tunnels in November.

Nasrallah told Lebanon's Al Mayadeen TV station that one of the tunnels discovered by Israel is more than 13 years old, predating UN Security Council Resolution 1701, passed after the Second Lebanon War.
