(Bloomberg) -- Ahead of a United Nations Security Council discussion later Wednesday about Hezbollah’s cross-border tunnels into Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the international community to condemn Iranian and Hezbollah aggression against Israel and increase sanctions on Hezbollah.
Among his comments:

- Says Lebanon must stop letting its territory be used for aggression against Israel
- Says Lebanese citizens should “fight back” against Hezbollah takeover of their country, “have to understand Hezbollah is putting them in jeopardy”
- Wants UNIFIL to have swift, unimpeded access to all parts of southern Lebanon
- Says Hezbollah has shut down three alleged missile-upgrade factories in Beirut after Netanyahu exposed them in September UN address
