Amidst Hezbollah Tensions, Netanyahu Pays a Visit to the Army
On Wednesday, August 28, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid a visit to soldiers stationed near the Israeli-Lebanese border.
The visit coincides with a fierce weekend firefight between Israel and the militant Lebanese group Hezbollah.
In an attempt to stop a potential Hezbollah onslaught, Israel reported that some 100 jets conducted airstrikes early on Sunday, targeting thousands of rocket launchers throughout southern Lebanon.
According to Hezbollah, hundreds of rockets and drones were fired toward northern Israeli military installations, missile defense positions, and the Golan Heights, which Israel has seized.
“When will the story come to an end? On Wednesday, Netanyahu recognized the exchanges when visiting with the army. “Only when we can bring back the security and the residents to their homes safely,” he stated.
Shortly after the most recent conflict in Gaza broke out, Hezbollah started flying drones and missiles against Israel.
Hamas and Hezbollah are allies. Israel launched airstrikes in retaliation.
According to local figures, 49 people have been killed in northern Israel since October 8 and 564 in Lebanon (Editor’s Note: Toll as of Aug. 20).
Israel has vowed to bring quiet to the border to allow its citizens to return to their homes. The government’s all-security rhetoric has crumbled following the October 7th attack.
