Netanyahu calls for IDF to strike Hezbollah targets 'with force' after terrorist group repeatedly attacks Israel
Share this @internewscast.com

On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed the Israel Defense Forces to launch forceful strikes against Hezbollah targets. This decision came after the terrorist group carried out multiple attacks over the weekend, putting the cease-fire with Lebanon at risk of disintegrating.

The intensifying hostilities have endangered an already delicate truce, as the United States continues to push for further discussions between Israeli and Lebanese leaders.

On Saturday afternoon, rocket sirens pierced the air in northern Israeli towns following Hezbollah’s launch of a drone and two rockets, actions the IDF described as a “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement.”

The IDF reported intercepting the drone and one of the rockets, while the other landed harmlessly in an open area, with no injuries reported from the incidents.

The military also mentioned intercepting a “suspicious aerial target,” suspected to be a Hezbollah drone, in southern Lebanon where IDF forces were actively stationed.

Furthermore, Hezbollah deployed several drones loaded with explosives targeting Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, though the IDF confirmed that these attacks did not result in any injuries.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces eliminated several Hezbollah terrorists and targets throughout Lebanon over the weekend.

Israeli forces struck and killed three Hezbollah fighters riding an armed pickup truck inside their security zone in Southern Lebanon, the IDF said Saturday.

They also killed a terrorist traveling via motorcycle and two additional terrorists near the Litani River inside the security zone.

More than 15 Hezbollah terrorists have been killed this weekend, according the IDF claimed.

Additionally, Israeli forces have been striking Lebanese buildings used by Hezbollah forces, including a weapons depot containing a “cache of anti-tank missiles.” The Israeli airforce also targeted Hezbollah rocket launchers in Southern Lebanon.

IDF forces also claimed to have detonated explosives planted inside buildings and vehicles used by Hezbollah terrorists.

President Trump announced on Thursday that the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah would be extended for three weeks amid continued peace talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials.

The talks mark the first time leaders from each country have sat down directly since 1993, and Trump pledged that Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun will be traveling to the White House in the “next couple of weeks.” Israel and Lebanon have been in a formal state of war since the founding of the Jewish state in 1948.

“We’re going to be working with Lebanon to get things straightened out in that country,” Trump told reporters Friday.
