Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah has warned Israel that it will receive “a real slap in the face” if it ramps up fighting along the Lebanon-Israel border, Al Jazeera reports.

Naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s second in command, said in a statement that stability would not return to the border unless Israel ended its “aggression” in Gaza.

“The enemy must know the party is ready, that we are preparing based on the principle that an endless aggression can happen, just like our will to push back the aggression is infinite,” Qassem said.
