The under-pressure leader reiterated that he has no plans to impose a temporary ceasefire in Gaza until all 240 hostages are released.<\/p>\n

It came as the leader of the terror group Hezbollah \u2013 Hassan Nasrallah \u2013 warned that Hamas\u2019s war with the Jewish state is \u201cnow on more than one front\u201d after the Iranian-backed militia launched missiles from Lebanon in the north.<\/p>\n

Nasrallah also praised Hamas\u2019s massacre of 1,400 people on October 7, saying the \u201cglorious jihadi operation\u201d \u2013 which they call the Al-Aqsa Flood \u2013 revealed the weakness of Israel and its army.<\/p>\n

Mr Netanyahu hit back, saying: \u201cI tell our enemies in the north, don\u2019t test us, you will pay dearly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the northern front, I reiterate to our enemies \u2013 do not be mistaken about us.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch a mistake will be very costly. You will pay an unimaginable price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, Nasrallah goaded Israel and Mr Netanyahu as he praised last month\u2019s \u201cblessed\u201d bloodbath.<\/p>\n

The Lebanese cleric used his first speech since the incursion, which inflicted the biggest single loss of Jewish lives since the Holocaust, to warn: \u201cI assure you, this will not be the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nasrallah\u2019s chilling words came as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Tel Aviv to press for a humanitarian \u201cpause\u201d in the war and for more aid to be allowed into besieged Gaza.<\/p>\n

As Israeli troops yesterday tightened their encirclement of Gaza City, Mr Blinken conceded these were difficult days.<\/p>\n

He repeated that the US stood in solidarity with Israel, saying: \u201cWe stand strongly with Israel. It has the right and obligation to defend itself and to ensure the events of 7 October never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But Mr Blinken added that \u201chow Israel does this matters\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said it was important to think of the civilians \u201ccaught in the crossfire of Hamas\u2019s making\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Secretary of State called for everything to be done to protect them and bring assistance to those who desperately need it. He said both countries had a shared determination to work together on that.<\/p>\n

Mr Blinken also said that he and President Joe Biden were thinking \u201cevery single moment of our hostages \u2013 so many, both Israelis, Americans, other nationals\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe\u2019re determined to do everything we can to bring them back safely to be with their families and loved ones.\u201d Meanwhile, Hezbollah fighters continue to battle Israeli troops on the Jewish state\u2019s northern borders.<\/p>\n
