Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran's Ayatollah regime and asserted that those who target Israel will face “consequences”.

Its intelligence had long tracked Hassan Nasrallah and it recently learned he planned to move, which would have closed the window of opportunity, according to a senior official who asked not to be identified discussing confidential matters.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the “elimination” of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah “is a necessary condition in achieving the objectives”.
