Netanyahu threatens: 'Those who harm us, we will harm'

Israeli Occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday via X: "Those who harm us, we will harm."

This came after Israeli Occupation attacked southern Lebanon in a large-scale 'preeemptive operation' on Hezbollah. Around 40 rockets were fired to which Hezbollah responded with 320 rockets at several Israeli Occupation military sites.

Netanyahu pledged to "do everything to restore security" in northern occupied Palestinian territories.

"We are determined to do everything to protect our country, safely return northern residents to their homes, and continue following a simple rule: Those who harm us, we will harm," Netanyahu added.
