As signs increasingly point toward an Israeli operation against Hezbollah — and Israeli leaders speak about changing the reality on the border with Lebanon — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu releases a cryptic 10-second video promising to get evacuated Israelis back to their homes.
“I’ve already said, we will return residents of the north safely to their homes,” he says. “And that is exactly what we will do.”
He makes no mention of the blasts targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon over the past two days, which have been blamed on Israel.
