Iran to be attacked if Hezbollah joins war, Israeli minister warns

Israel’s economy minister said Iran and Hezbollah would be attacked if the Lebanese group entered the current conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Nir Barkat told the British Daily Mail newspaper on Saturday that Hezbollah would “get the same treatment” as Gaza and that Israel would go after the "head of the snake, which is Iran".

“Israel has a very clear message to our enemies. We are saying to them, look what’s happening in Gaza – you are going to get the same treatment if you attack us. We are going to wipe you off the face of the Earth," Barkat said.

“The Ayatollahs in Iran are not going to sleep good at night, we are going to make sure they pay a heavy price if, God forbid, they open the northern front."
