In a bid to calm settlers, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah would not take control of Galilee, alleging that the Zionist entity “has the ability to defend itself.”

"Hezbollah leader today threatened to occupy the Galilee, but I tell you that he will not," adding "you should not doubt "Israel\'s" capability in defending its land and people."

"Anyone who hides in a bunker will stay in a bunker," Netanyahu added, referring to Sayyed Nasrallah.

Sayyed Nasrallah on Wednesday called on the Resistance fighters to stand ready to control the Galilee area in the occupied territories if another war "is imposed on Lebanon," in a response to Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s threats to invade Lebanon once again.
