Israeli minister threatens Hezbollah with destruction if it backs Iran

Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz has warned that Hezbollah will be eliminated if it launches attacks on Israel in support of Iran.

Writing on X, Katz accused the group's leader of following Tehran’s orders and issued a stark threat.

“The Hezbollah secretary general is not learning a lesson from his predecessors and is threatening to act against Israel in accordance with the Iranian dictator’s orders,” he wrote.

“I suggest that the Lebanese proxy be careful and understand that Israel has lost patience with terrorists who threaten it.

“If there will be terrorism, there will be no Hezbollah.”
