Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed a strong response to Hezbollah’s attack that killed 12 children, despite international calls for restraint
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of a harsh response to the Hezbollah strike that killed 12 children amid calls by the international community for Israeli restrain.
“Our response will come, and it will be hard,” Netanyahu said during a visit Monday to the Druze village of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights that came under attack on Saturday.
The state of Israel, he said, cannot and will not normalize this,” he stated.
Late Sunday the security cabinet spent over three hours debating a response to the Hezbollah attack, authorizing Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to take action.
Netanyahu traveled to the Druze village with Druze community leader Sheikh Muafak Ṭarif and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar. He met with Majdal Shams local council head Dolan Abu Sales and Ein Qiniyye Regional Council head Wael Mugrabi and said,”We came here today to Majdal Shams, together with Sheikh Muafak Tarif and the heads of the authorities of Majdal Shams and Ein Qiniyye, to express our deep sympathy and deep shock at the atrocity that took place here. It is a terrible disaster.
