According to the Israeli head of government, Israel’s army has destroyed “a large part” of the Lebanese Hezbollah’s rocket arsenal. He emphasized that Israel would continue to fight.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated an Israeli response to the latest Iranian missile attack. “No country in the world would accept such an attack on its cities and citizens,” the head of government said in a speech. “Israel has the duty and the right to defend itself.” The country will respond to the Iranian attacks. Netanyahu did not comment on the timing or nature of the reaction.
Netanyahu: Action against Hezbollah prevented major attack
The prime minister also stated that Israel’s army had destroyed “a large part” of the Lebanese Hezbollah militia’s rocket arsenal in its attacks on the neighboring country. However, the threat posed by the Shiite organization has not yet been completely eliminated. According to Netanyahu, Hezbollah was planning an even bigger massacre in northern Israel than the one carried out by Hamas in the south of the country around a year ago. However, Israel killed the Hezbollah commanders who planned to do this.
“As Israel fights against the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should stand firmly by Israel,” the head of government warned. While Western leaders have called for arms embargoes against Israel, Iran is not imposing such an embargo against Hezbollah or the Houthi militia in Yemen. “This axis of terror stands together.” French President Emmanuel Macron had previously called for a stop to arms sales to Israel. Netanyahu strongly condemned this.
He emphasized that Israel is currently defending itself on several fronts. The country will continue to fight for world peace and security until the battle is won.
