Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hezbollah would be hit with 'overwhelming' force. His statement follows recent warnings that Israel would step up its operations in Lebanon.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Hezbollah would be hit with 'overwhelming' force. The remarks followed warnings in recent days that Israel would intensify its operations in Lebanon.
The Lebanese side says Israeli strikes have affected civilian areas, while Israel maintains in its own statements that its targets belong to Hezbollah. Access restrictions in the region make it difficult to verify claims independently.
The developments raise the prospect of renewed escalation on the Lebanon front at a time when tensions with Iran continue. Statements are attributed to the respective parties, and accounts may differ.
