Israel has threatened Hezbollah's leader with an unusually high price for attacks during the Jewish holiday of Passover, as tensions escalate along the border. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned of a harsh response and indicated preparations for a prolonged military operation against the Lebanese militant group. The threats come amid rising concerns about potential escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed organization that controls much of southern Lebanon and maintains significant military capabilities along Israel's northern border.
