Following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Saturday that he had personally authorized a high-risk military operation. The attack was part of a broader offensive against Hezbollah sites in eastern and southern Lebanon following a series of rocket attacks. launched by the militant group towards northern Israel.
A stern warning to Iran
Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran, Hezbollah’s main backer. He made clear that Israel’s military reach extends far beyond its borders, even to Iran, and warned Tehran against further provocations. He said: “There is no place in Iran or the Middle East beyond the reach of Israel’s long arm, and today you know how true that is. I say to the Ayatollah’s regime: whoever defeats us, we will defeat.”
Netanyahu described the operation and its aftermath as a “historic turning point” for Israel. He expressed confidence in the country’s military capabilities and reaffirmed his commitment to the safe return of displaced residents and the recovery of hostages held by Hamas.
“We are determined to continue attacking our enemies, return our people to their homes and ensure the safe return of all those who were kidnapped. We will not forget them for a moment,” Netanyahu said. He closed with a message of unity and strength: “We will fight together and with God’s help we will win together.”
military achievement
Nasrallah, who led Hezbollah for decades, was a key figure behind several attacks on Israeli and foreign targets, including major bombings in the 1980s. His death marks a significant victory for Israel’s military and intelligence agencies. Addressing the nation, Netanyahu called Nasrallah’s assassination a pivotal moment in Israel’s efforts to restore security along its northern borders.
“This is a critical achievement for Israel’s military strategy,” Netanyahu declared. “Nasrallah was the mastermind behind numerous terrorist attacks against Israelis and foreign citizens. His elimination significantly weakens Hezbollah’s capabilities, and as long as he was alive, the group could recover from the blows we dealt them.”
