‘Free your country from Hezbollah’ : Netanyahu’s appeal to Lebanese citizens
“If Lebanon allows Hezbollah to operate within their borders, the country could end up like Gaza,” Netanyahu told the Lebanese people. “Free your country from Hezbollah. Get them (Hezbollah terrorists) out of the country. Doing so would end this war and prevent further destruction,” he added.
