Lebanon, Iran and Hezbollah are entangling the citizen of Lebanon in a front against Israel, Israeli PM said.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that the Lebanese citizens are “awakening” against the Hezbollah Shia movement and Iran.

“In the Lebanese sector, there has been a very important awakening by many citizens in the country against Hezbollah and the Iranian involvement there,” Bennett said on Sunday at the beginning of the Cabinet’s meeting.

“Even during the severe economic and political crisis in Lebanon, Iran and Hezbollah are entangling the citizens of Lebanon in a front against Israel,” he added.

He stressed that the Lebanese government and army must take responsibility for what is happening in their backyard.

“The State of Israel will not accept firing at its territory.”

“It is less important to us if it was a Palestinian organization that was involved, or they were dissidents or independent,” the premier added.

On Friday, Israel Defence Forces spokesperson, Amnon Shefler, said that 19 rockets had been fired at Israel from Lebanon. Sixteen of the rockets managed to cross the border, while ten were intercepted, added Shefler.

Hezbollah has taken responsibility for the attack.
