Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Sunday that Lebanon is “on the verge of collapse,” like all in the countries that have been taken over by Iran , in reference to the country’s severe economic and financial crisis and the fact that Lebanon is now being run by the Iranian backed Hezbollah militant group

“Lebanon is on the verge of collapse, like all countries that Iran takes over, and this time, the citizens of Lebanon are paying the price,” Bennett said during an Israeli cabinet meeting, according to an English-language statement published by his office.

“It must be understood that the citizens of Lebanon are paying a heavy price because of the Iranian takeover of the country,” Bennett added.

“We are closely monitoring what is happening there, (together with) both the Defense Minister and the Foreign Minister, and we will continue to be prepared,” the Israeli PM added.

He also cited Israel’s reported thwarting of an attempt to smuggle 47 handguns from Lebanon.

The Israeli military said Saturday it has foiled an arms smuggling attempt by the border with Lebanon calling it the “largest in years” and said it was investigating whether Hezbollah militant group was involved in it.  

According to analysts the majority of the Lebanese people now considers Iran as the occupier of their country with Hezbollah as its administrator and blame Hezbollah for the collapse of Lebanon’s economy.

    Exactly 15 years ago, on July 12, 2006, Israel’s war against Hezbollah militants began, which lasted 35 days. As a result of hostilities and rocket attacks, 166 Israelis were killed and more than 1,000 were injured. Lebanese casualties: nearly 1,200 dead.

    The reason for the start of the war was Hezbollah’s provocation: on the morning of July 12, a military patrol was attacked on the Lebanese-Israeli border. During a short battle, Lebanese militants killed three and kidnapped two Israeli servicemen – Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev (later the examination established that they were mortally wounded in the battle). Shortly after this sabotage, Israeli tanks entered Lebanese territory. Hezbollah responded with rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli territory. This is how the Second Lebanese War began.
    Hundreds of thousands of Israelis who found themselves in the shelling zone in 2006 – from Metula to Hadera – remember well the constant fear for themselves and their loved ones that they experienced in anticipation of new explosions. Many were evacuated to the center and south of the country. Then the rear was not ready for a missile war.
    In the years since the Second Lebanese, Israel has created a unique missile defense system, which has proven its effectiveness during the armed confrontation with Hamas militants in Gaza, including during the period of operations “Pillar of the cloud” (2012), “Unbreakable Rock” (2014) and The Guardian of the Walls (2021).
    In the summer of 2006, dozens of Israeli and foreign journalists worked in the war zone. Today we are publishing a photo album made up of photographs taken during that war by them and the IDF press service
