Netanyahu says Israel will continue to strike Hezbollah "wherever required"

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel was continuing "to strike Hezbollah with force, precision, and determination," despite allegations from Iran and the international community that it was violating the ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran and jeopardizing a chance at a deal to end the war.

"In Beirut, we eliminated Ali Youssef Kharshi, the personal secretary of Hezbollah terror organization Secretary-General Naim Qassem and one of the people closest to him. At the same time, overnight, the IDF struck a series of terror infrastructures in southern Lebanon: crossings used to transfer thousands of weapons, rockets, and launchers, as well as weapons depots, launchers, and Hezbollah headquarters," Netanyahu said.

"Our message is clear: Whoever acts against Israeli civilians will be struck. We will continue to strike Hezbollah wherever required, until we restore full security to the residents of the north."
