Nir Barkat warned that if his country is assaulted on other fronts, his adversaries would lose sleep.
Nir Barkat, the Israeli economy minister, stated on Sunday that if the Palestinian terrorists establish a “northern front,” Israel would “eliminate” Hezbollah and target Iran.
Iran intends to attack Israel from all angles. In addition to responding on those fronts, if we discover they intend to attack Israel, Barkat told The Mail on Sunday, “We will go to the head of the serpent, which is Iran. He continued, “The ayatollahs in Iran are not going to sleep good at night” if they act against Israel.
Lebanon and the violent pro-Palestinian organisation Hezbollah, according to Barkat, “are going to pay a heavy price, similar to what Hamas is going to pay.”
If required, the minister declared that Israel will “go after the heads of Iran.” “Israel is sending our enemies a very clear message. We are warning them that if they attack us, they would be treated similarly to what is occurring in Gaza. You will be eliminated from the face of the planet by us.

The declaration came after Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the foreign minister of Iran, warned on Monday that Israel’s security situation can deteriorate very soon. “Other numerous fronts will open, and this is inevitable,” he added of the war crimes committed against the Palestinians.
In a later statement, the Iranian envoy further up his criticism of the US and Israel, saying that if they continue to treat the Palestinians badly, “anything is possible at any moment and the region will go out of control.” Further escalation, according to Amir-Abdollahian, would have “far-reaching repercussions.”
Since fighting broke out between Israeli forces and Hamas earlier this month, the IDF and Hezbollah have frequently traded shots. According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hezbollah would experience “unprecedented destruction” if it formally joined the conflict with the Jewish state.
In the past, the Israeli army launched a number of significant incursions into Lebanon to combat the local extremists. The latest incursion happened in 2006.
On October 7, numerous Israeli settlements were targeted by Hamas and other Palestinian organisations, which prompted Israel to start airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. According to representatives from both sides, more than 4,300 Palestinians and more than 1,400 Israelis have died in violence.
