Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Hezbollah, Iran, and Syria on Tuesday, declaring that Israel would not hesitate to use force if they posed a threat.

Netanyahu, who said the comments while touring a Homefront Command operations center, was referring to the incident on the Golan Heights earlier this week, in which a squad of terrorists with explosive devices tried to stage a cross-border attack.
The terrorists were killed after being detected by the Israel Defense Forces before they could perpetrate an attack.
The foiled attack may have been orchestrated by Hezbollah in response to an alleged Israeli killing of a senior Hezbollah operative in an airstrike last month, which was reportedly unintentional.
"We targeted the terrorist squad and now we also hit those who sent it," Netanyahu said, referring to the reported airstrikes in Syria on Monday night in response to the incident. "We will do what it takes to protect ourselves and I would kindly advise all those involved, including Hezbollah, to take this into account. We are not bluffing," he continued.
