The Israeli army spokesman, Avichay Adraee, told Hezbollah’s leadership, members, and mercenaries, “Once again, you expanded the circle of attacks, so we expanded our earth-shattering response, which neither lasts nor leaves, so we are struck hard.” He added: "Every missile you launch is a new nail in the blow you will suffer, so bear the flames of the consequences." He continued: "Our goal bank is expanding, and our eyes are monitoring your movements. Whoever plays with fire will be burned by it, and what comes next will be tougher and tougher."
