Netanyahu Threatens 'Heavier Blows' if Hezbollah Attacks Again

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of intensified military responses to any future Hezbollah attack, calling the Sep 10 destruction of the tunnel network beneath the Ali al-Taher ridge a 'massive victory.' He said: 'If you haven't learned the lesson by now, and you choose to attack us again, you will suffer even heavier blows.' Netanyahu said the demolished tunnels, built over two decades with Iranian assistance, had contained command centers, weapons stockpiles and living quarters. His comments came amid the broader U.S.-sponsored June framework aimed at Hezbollah's disarmament and a phased Israeli withdrawal alongside Lebanese army deployment.
