Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells the air force leadership that Israel has “established a principle” in its fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon, “Whoever harms us, his blood is on his head.”

“We have put this into practice,” says Netanyahu as he visits the air force operational headquarters in the Pit in the Kirya.

“We know the road is long, but we are determined to restore security to the north and return the residents safely to their homes,” he tells IAF commander Tomer Bar and the service’s top brass.
