Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz commented on threats by Iran to obliterate Israel if it launches a war in Lebanon.
"Iran threatens today to destroy Israel if Israel fully responds to Hezbollah attacks from Lebanon.
My response to Iran is clear:
1. If Hezbollah does not cease its fire and withdraw from southern Lebanon, we will act against it with full force until security is restored and residents can return to their homes.
2. A regime that threatens destruction deserves to be destroyed."
