The Jewish leader spoke of “challenging days ahead,” stating Israel was “prepared for any scenario” amid concerns that the war in Gaza may expand.
Netanyahu asserted, “Israel will charge a very heavy price for any aggression from any arena.”
The PM said that in recent days, Israel has landed “crushing blows” on its three main proxies — the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah.
He also mentioned the strike on Hamas military leader Muhammad Deif in Gaza several weeks ago, along with the recent strike on the Hodeida port in Yemen, and last night’s attack on Fuad Shukr, whom he referred to as “Hezbollah’s chief of staff.” However, he didn’t say a word on Ismail Haniyeh, on which the Jewish nation has maintained a striking silence.
Netanyahu said Shukr was directly responsible for the murder of 12 children in Majdal Shams and for attacks across Israel’s northern border. He also accused Shukr of involvement in the 1983 attack on US Marines in Lebanon, and in maintaining ties between Iran and Hezbollah.
He emphasised that Druze and Jews have a “covenant of life” that has been strengthened in recent days.
“We settled our score with [Hajj] Mohsin,” he said, referring to Shukr’s nom de guerre, “and we will settle our score with anyone who harms us. Everyone who takes aim at our children, everyone who murders our citizens, everyone who harms our country — their blood is on their own head.”>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
