Israel vows to ‘wipe’ Iran, Hezbollah ‘off face of Earth’ if terror group joins Hamas in war: report
Nir Barkat, Israel’s Minister of Economy, warned that it would “eliminate Hezbollah,” their proxy terror group in Lebanon, if it follows through on threats to throw its military support behind Hamas.
“The plan of Iran is to attack Israel on all fronts. If we find they intend to target Israel, we will not just retaliate to those fronts, but we will go to the head of the snake, which is Iran,” Barkat told the Daily Mail.
“The Ayatollahs in Iran are not going to sleep good at night, we are going to make sure they pay a heavy price if, God forbid, they open the northern front.”
Hezbollah has been exchanging fire with Israeli forces on the Lebanese border over the past two weeks in retaliation against the Israel Defense Force’s unrelenting bombing of the Gaza Strip.
The Lebanon-based militia and Iranian officials reportedly helped Hamas refine tactical and strategic plans for the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel that left 1,300 dead and took nearly 200 hostage.
Hezbollah leaders proclaimed last week it was “fully prepared” to join the fighting in support of Hamas.
If Israel discovers Hezbollah is fully opening a war front on Israel’s northern border, the IDF will launch an unforgiving charge against Iran, which Barkat said is synonymous with Hezbollah.
The terror group “will not escalate without the order of Iran,” he said, adding that there is a “global alignment of evil” between Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah.
“Lebanon and Hezbollah are going to pay a heavy price, similar to what Hamas is going to pay. But that’s not enough,” Barkat said.
The very clear message is that we are going to be going after the heads of Iran as well. When will we do that? When we decide.
“Israel has a very clear message to our enemies. We are saying to them, look what’s happening in Gaza – you are going to get the same treatment if you attack us. We are going to wipe you off the face of the Earth.”
IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus on the possible expansion of the geography of the war:
“Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into a war from which it will gain nothing, but may lose a lot. Hezbollah is playing a very, very dangerous game. They escalate the situation. We are seeing more and more attacks every day. Is the Lebanese state seriously prepared to jeopardize what is left of Lebanon's prosperity and sovereignty for the sake of terrorists in Gaza? This is a question that the Lebanese authorities must ask themselves and answer.”
