Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued a warning to the people of Lebanon as both Israel and Hezbollah consider first-strike options amid simmering tensions in the Middle East.

...

"We will not allow the Hezbollah militia to destabilize the border and the region," Gallant said. "If Hezbollah continues its aggression, Israel will fight it, with all its might: Remember Nasrallah’s regret following the dangerous and miscalculated adventure he embarked on, in August 2006 - learn the lesson of the past so as not to fall into a dangerous scenario in August 2024."

Gallant then recited the Arabic proverb "He who plays with fire may expect destruction."

Since Hezbollah has been shooting large numbers of rockets into Israel almost daily, any Israeli action should be considered retaliatory, not a “first strike.”

May that retaliation be swift, and decisive.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Hezbollah already made the first through 80th strikes.

I’ve supported the delay in retaliation against Hezballah as a smart tactical move, to assure the IDF of complete control of Gaza first.

as for the Lebanese terrorists, it won’t be long now...they’re on the front of the bus to Jahannam (Moslem Hell)

Aug 8 (Reuters) - United Airlines said on Thursday it has suspended its flights to Tel Aviv for the foreseeable future and plans to resume them when it is safe for its customers and crew.

Many airlines globally are revising their schedules to avoid Iranian and Lebanese airspace while also calling off flights to Israel and Lebanon amid growing fears of a possible broader conflict in the region after the killing of senior members of militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah.

It's time Israel got Biblical on the terrorists.   The kind of smoting that Joshua fit.
