Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns Hezbollah it will make 'the mistake of its life' if it starts a war with Israel at the Lebanon border, as strikes on Gaza intensify for a looming ground invasion.
After Israel vowed to deepen and intensify its attacks, Gaza has endured a weekend of increasingly devastating bombardments, while strikes in Syria and Lebanon stoked fears the two-week-old war could spiral into a broader conflict.The Israeli prime minister has warned Hezbollah against opening a new war front in Lebanon
Gaza's health ministry said 266 Palestinians, including 117 children, had been killed by Israeli air strikes in the past 24 hours in the enclave, which has been under "total siege" since the war erupted two weeks ago.Israel began unrelenting air strikes on Gaza to its south-west after Hamas militants breached the border and carried out a shock rampage through nearby communities on October 7.
Mr Netanyahu said Hezbollah "will make the mistake of its life. We will strike it with a force it cannot even imagine, and the significance for it and the state of Lebanon will be devastating."The Israeli military said it struck several Hezbollah targets on Saturday night, including what it called a compound from which a missile had been fired at one of its drones.
The Israeli Defense Force said it conducted an aerial strike on a Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist compound in the Al-Ansar Mosque in Jenin. Palestinians have again been warned by Israel's military to move south out of north Gaza ahead of the invasion. Israel's military later attempted to clarify the message, writing on Twitter that the translation which had made its way across the internet was "imprecise", and the IDF "has no intention of considering those who have yet to evacuate as a member of a terrorist group".
