Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu issues a strong warning to Hezbollah, cautioning them against involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and vows to retaliate with "unimaginable" force that could have devastating consequences for Lebanon.Netanyahu visited troops on the Lebanese border in northern Israel, where mounting artillery exchanges have heightened fears of a new war front opening as Israel continues its bombardment in Palestine's Gaza.
The Israeli defence ministry on Sunday ordered 14 additional communities to join dozens that have already been evacuated from the border area. Another four people have been killed in Israel — three soldiers and one civilian. Israel has evacuated villages on its side, while several thousand Lebanese have fled border regions for the southern city of Tyre.
The tit-for-tat attacks have so far been relatively contained, but analysts have warned that Hezbollah could scale up its action if Israel launches a ground invasion of Gaza.Israeli army spokesperson Jonathan Conricus warned that Hezbollah"is dragging Lebanon into a war that it will gain nothing from, but stands to lose a lot".
