Israeli defence minister warns Hezbollah lader of “very heavy price”

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has issued a stark warning to Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem, saying he will “pay a very heavy price” for recent rocket fire targeting Israel.

“I have a clear message for Naim Qassem, Secretary-General of the Hezbollah terror organization: You and your associates will pay a very heavy price for the intensified fire toward Israeli civilians as they sit to celebrate the Passover Seder,” Katz said following an assessment with military officials, the Times of Israel cites. 

He added: “You will not live to see this because you will be deep in the depths of hell together with Nasrallah, Khamenei, Sinwar and all the eliminated members of the axis of evil.”
