Kyiv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the security area of southern Lebanon and made a big statement on the army operation. He said that Israel has caused major damage to the networks linked to Iran. The army will not withdraw from southern Lebanon until the threat of Hezbollah is completely eliminated.
What did Netanyahu say about the army’s action?
Addressing the soldiers, Netanyahu said that the Israeli army has conducted a very effective operation on the border. He claimed that a massive attack has been carried out on networks linked to Iran. Due to this, Israel’s security in this area has become stronger than before.
What did you claim on the strength of Hezbollah?
The Prime Minister said that earlier Hezbollah had a large number of missiles and rockets. But after Israel’s military action, its strength has reduced significantly. He also claimed that the army has killed thousands of fighters in different operations. The organisation has suffered continuous losses in the last few weeks.
What happens next in southern Lebanon?
Netanyahu made it clear that Israel has now changed its security policy. He said that any threat coming from across the border will not be tolerated. Under this strategy, the security area near the Lebanon border is being further strengthened. The campaign to eliminate tunnels, weapons hideouts and infiltration routes will continue.
What message did you give to the soldiers?
The Israeli prime minister told the soldiers that their safety is most important. If you feel any kind of danger, take action without delay. He reiterated that Israeli forces will remain in southern Lebanon until the threat from Hezbollah and Iran is completely eliminated.
What impact will this statement have on the area?
After this statement by Netanyahu, tension in the Middle East may increase further. The Lebanese government has already described the Israeli military presence as a violation of its sovereignty. At the same time, Iran also openly supports Hezbollah. Experts believe that Israel’s prolonged stay in Lebanon could lead to retaliatory action from Hezbollah and Iran. There is a danger of spreading unrest in the entire area.
