Netanyahu says Israel will continue striking Lebanon when threats arise

After Israel strikes Beirut for the first time since the November ceasefire went into effect, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledges to continue to striking across Lebanon at any threat that arises.

“Those who have not yet accepted the new situation in Lebanon received another example of our determination today,” Netanyahu says in a statement.

“The equation has changed — what happened before October 7 will not be repeated,” he continues. “We will not allow any firing on our communities, not even a drizzle.”

The IDF hit the Lebanese capital after two multi-rocket attacks on northern Israel in the past week.

“We will continue to vigorously enforce the ceasefire,” Netanyahu threatens, “we will attack anywhere in Lebanon against any threat to Israel, and we will ensure that all of us in the north return to their homes safely.”
