Israel threatens to "return this country to the Stone Age" warning | Galant | Israel
According to the report of Deutsche Presse-Agentur on August 8, Israeli Defense Minister Yoyaf Garrant issued a stern warning on August 7, saying that if there was a new war with Hezbollah militants active in Lebanon, the neighboring country would return to the "Stone Age".
According to reports, Galant warned Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah not to make mistakes during his visit to the border areas.
He said, "You have made mistakes in the past and paid a very heavy price. If there is a conflict here, we will bring Lebanon back to the Stone Age."
He also said, "If necessary, we will not hesitate to use all our strength to erode every inch of Hezbollah and Lebanon's land." "Don't misunderstand us, we don't want war, but we are ready to protect our citizens, soldiers, and sovereignty."

The report believes that Galant's speech is a response to the increasingly tense situation in the border area in recent weeks. Israel has recently accused Hezbollah of increasing provocation, such as setting up two tents in disputed border areas. New tensions have also emerged around the divided border town of Gaigel.
The report points out that the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon is a close ally of Iran and has received support from Iran. At the same time, the organization believes that Israel is the number one enemy and is fighting against the country.
The last month long war between the two sides occurred in 2006. Since then, there have been repeated tensions in the border areas.
