In a pair of videos posted in Hebrew and English to social media after his residence in Caesarea was targeted by a drone fired from Lebanon this morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists “nothing will deter” him, and that Israel is “going to win this war.”

Filmed while walking through a sunny park, wearing sunglasses and a black polo shirt, Netanyahu says in Hebrew, “You know, two days ago we eliminated the mass murder [Hamas leader] Yahya Sinwar, as I’ve said, we’re in an existential war, and we’re continuing to the end.”

“And I want to say something else, I’m proud of our soldiers, I’m proud of our commanders, and I’m proud of you, the citizens of Israel,” he adds.

In the English version, Netanyahu calls Sinwar “the terrorist mastermind whose goons beheaded our men, raped our women and burned babies alive.”

“We took him out,” the prime minister says, “and we’re continuing our battle with Iran’s other terrorist proxies.”
