“There Will Be No Hezbollah!” – Israeli Defense Minister Issues Grave Warning Over Iran Tensions

Tensions in the Middle East are rising rapidly, and Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, has just sent a strong and unmistakable message to Hezbollah: stay out of it or face destruction.

In a statement published by The Times of Israel on Friday, June 20, 2025, Katz warned that if the Lebanese-based militant group dares to intervene in the growing Israel-Iran conflict, it could lead to its complete annihilation.

“The Lebanese proxy should be careful and understand that if there is terror, there will be no Hezbollah,” Katz said, signaling Israel’s readiness for massive retaliation if provoked.

Katz’s remarks were a direct response to Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, who recently declared that the group will not stand by while Israel and the U.S. continue to take “aggressive actions” in the region. Qassem also reiterated support for Iran’s right to defend itself from external attacks.

This exchange of warnings signals a deeply volatile moment in the region — one where a single misstep could spark a full-scale war, with Lebanon caught directly in the crossfire.

With Iran already striking Israel with ballistic missiles and Israel responding with force, any involvement from Hezbollah could dramatically expand the theater of war, turning it into a multi-front crisis.
