Former minister Gideon Sa'ar said, Monday evening, "The exploits of the Lebanese government are a good opportunity to convey a sharp message: A future war will not be against Hezbollah alone, but rather against Lebanon, which allows it to strengthen itself and covers it.

Writing on Twitter in response to Lebanese attempts to deny Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statements that the state is hiding terrorist sites on its territory, Sa'ar added that Lebanon's "infrastructure will be a target in such a war. Being clear about this will reduce the probability of war and reduce its duration if it breaks out."
