Visiting the Golani training base at which a Hezbollah drone killed four soldiers last night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promises to continue striking the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group, including in Beirut.
“We are fighting a tough campaign against Iran’s axis of evil that wants to totally destroy us,” says Netanyahu. “They won’t make it. We keep fighting. We pay painful prices, but we have tremendous achievements — and we will continue to achieve them.”
“I want to make it clear: we will continue to hit Hezbollah mercilessly in all parts of Lebanon — also in Beirut,” he says, after Hebrew media reports indicated that he had instructed the IDF to refrain from hitting the Lebanese capital at Washington’s behest.
Netanyahu visits the dining hall that was hit by the UAV, and talks about the incident with survivors.
He also visits soldiers injured in the attack at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera.
