Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he warned Lebanon’s government that Israel would act to disarm Hezbollah “on the ground” if Beirut failed to do so, AFP reports.
“I told the Lebanese government a few days ago: you are playing with fire if you continue allowing Hezbollah to operate, in violation of your commitment to disarm it,” Netanyahu has told a press conference.
“The time has come for you to do so. Now, if you do not do so, it is clear that we will do so,” he has continued.
