"The attempt by Iran's proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake," the prime minister said in a statement on Saturday, adding, "This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future.
"I say to Iran and its proxies in its axis of evil: Anyone who tries to harm Israel's citizens will pay a heavy price," Netanyahu warned.
Hezbollah media chief Mohammed Afif during a press conference in Beirut on Tuesday declared the Iranian-backed terrorist organization's "full, complete and exclusive responsibility for the Caesarea operation."
The Lebanese terrorist spokesman also warned, "If we did not reach you this time, then we will reach you the next time. Between us lie the days, nights and the battlefield."
