In a recent speech, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah issued a hardline statement against Israel, vowing to 'turn Tel Aviv and all of Israel into hell' should a full-scale conflict break out.
Nasrallah stressed that the Lebanese armed group would not engage in any talks concerning its weapons arsenal, calling this a 'red line' that the resistance would never cross.
The remarks came amid rising tensions between Hezbollah and Israel, with cross-border clashes frequent since last October, parallel to the war in Gaza.
Analysts say Nasrallah's stance reflects Hezbollah's determination to preserve its military capability as a deterrent, despite international pressure and diplomatic efforts to de-escalate.
Israel has previously warned of strong military action if Hezbollah continues to threaten security along the northern border.
