Israeli official says Israel won't 'bow to pressures', to attack 'all of Lebanon if needed'

An unnamed Israeli political official told Saudi Arabia’s Al-Arabiya television on Tuesday that “regardless of the internal debate in Lebanon” on Hezbollah’s disarmament, Israel will “continue its attacks to disarm Hezbollah.”

“The Lebanese Army and government must act firmly against Hezbollah,” the Israeli official added.

“We will not bow to pressures and we will launch a broad attack on entire Lebanon if needed … Hezbollah must not test us again and must remember what happened to its leadership,” the official threatened.

The official added that “Iran, through Hezbollah, is trying to sabotage the efforts to achieve prosperity in Lebanon.”
