Prime Minister Netanyahu clarified: "Israel will continue to act against Iran's attempts to establish a military base in our region. Nasrallah is complicating the Lebanese state - because of Iran. Today, a Hezbollah squad entered Israeli territory. With good operational preparation by the forces on the ground, and by the commanders, the IDF thwarted this attempt. We see the attempt to infiltrate our territory with great severity. Hezbollah and the State of Lebanon bear full responsibility for this incident, and for any attack that may come out of Lebanon against the State of Israel. Hezbollah should know he is playing with fire. Any attack against us will be answered with great force. Nasrallah has already made a big mistake in assessing Israel's determination to defend itself, and the Lebanese state has paid a heavy price for this. I suggest he does not repeat this mistake. "

IDF fighters and commanders acted with great professionalism and precision, preventing a serious incident that could have claimed lives.

Anyone who dares to test the strength of the IDF will endanger himself and the country from which he operates. Any action against the State of Israel will lead to a powerful, sharp and painful response. I want to say clearly - the IDF is ready to respond, the IDF is ready to respond. "The State of Israel, the defense establishment and the IDF will continue to operate wherever required, close or far as it may be."
