Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said today that Israel would keep hitting Iran-backed Hezbollah ‘wherever necessary’, the day after Israeli strikes pummelled Lebanon.

‘We are continuing to strike Hezbollah with force, precision, and determination,’ Netanyahu said on his personal X account.

‘Our message is clear: anyone who acts against Israeli civilians – we will strike them. We will continue to hit Hezbollah wherever necessary, until we fully restore security to the residents of the north’ of Israel, he added.
