Israeli President Reuven Rivlin asserted that “a vision of partnership and peace will be achieved only through resolute opposition to the extremist Iranian position. We will not allow an Iranian establishment in Lebanon through Hizbollah and we ask all our friends… to continue to take responsibility for Hizbollah’s terrorist activities from the Lebanese government”. Too, Israel’s military chief of staff indicated that “Hizbollah currently holds thousands of missiles and rockets that are located in the heart of a civilian population and are deliberately intended to harm Israeli citizens”. “The IDF will do everything to prevent this”, he warned. “The IDF has thousands of targets in Lebanon that grow every week and has extensive capabilities to destroy them. We will not hesitate to attack with force on the day of fire, wherever we find weapons, an enemy or state infrastructure that aids the enemy”.
