Netanyahu: With or without deal, we’ll push Hezbollah back to Litani
Netanyahu vowed that the IDF would thwart Hezbollah’s attempts to rearm and would “respond firmly against any action against us.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on military might as the best way to push Hezbollah out of Southern Lebanon as US ceasefire efforts appeared to falter.
“With or without an agreement, the key to returning our residents in the north safely to their homes is to distance Hezbollah beyond the Litani [River],” he said during a visit to the northern border.
In a short video that showed him wearing a khaki flak jacket, Netanyahu vowed that the IDF would thwart Hezbollah’s attempts to rearm and would “respond firmly against any action against us.”
What’s needed, Netanyahu said, is “Enforcement, enforcement, enforcement.”
He also stressed that “Hezbollah’s oxygen pipeline from Iran through Syria” must also be cut off. “We are committed to all of this.”
In the background, smoke rose from Hezbollah targets hit by the IDF in Southern Lebanon. “From here,” Netanyahu said, “you see and hear how reality is being changed — there are planes above and heroic fighters on the ground below, eliminating the enter underground terrorist infrastructure that Hezbollah prepared for its invasion of the Galilee,” Netanyahu said.
Such an invasion would have been much larger than the Hamas invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023, he said.
“It won’t happen anymore,” he said.
