Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations (UN) Danny Danon (pictured) warned that Hezbollah must withdraw from the border between Lebanon and his country to avoid an escalation of the tensions.
Speaking before the UN Security Council (UNSC), Danon insisted that, otherwise, Israel will "use any means to defend its citizens." He added that his country will not allow the organization to continue to attack its territory.
Furthermore, Danon expressed Israel's determination to have its citizens in the north of the country return to their homes near the border with Lebanon.
