PM after Nasrallah strike: Our enemies thought we were like a spider web, but we have tendons of steel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to address Israel’s strike in Beirut targeting Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

“Our enemies thought we were like a spider web. That’s what one of them used to say,” Netanyahu says at a Shabbat event shortly before his departure from New York.

Nasrallah has repeatedly referred to Israel as a spider web, destined to disappear.

“What spider web are they talking about? We have tendons of steel — both of will and power,” Netanyahu says.

“We are fighting for existence. There is no exaggeration here,” he continues.

“The people of Israel live, and when they need to, they also kick. Today we kicked properly, but not just today. And we will continue to do so. We want to continue the eternity of Israel, and we are committed to the victory of Israel,” Netanyahu says before expressing his wish for a “relatively quiet Shabbat.”
