JERUSALEM, Oct 22 — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hezbollah today against opening a second war front with Israel, saying that doing so would bring Israeli counter-strikes of "unimaginable” magnitude that would wreak "devastation” upon Lebanon.

In an official transcript of a briefing Netanyahu gave Israeli commandos near the Lebanese border, he also said: "I cannot tell you right now if Hezbollah will decide to enter the (Gaza) war fully.”

That war, launched after a devastating cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct 7, was "do or die” for Israel, Netanyahu said. — Reuters
