Netanyahu is firm: Israel will respond strongly to any attack
Benjamin Netanyahu

Israel will respond with force to any attack against it, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said late Wednesday.

This was Netanyahu's first public statement since the assassination in Tehran of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas - the US and EU-designated terrorist group. But Netanyahu did not mention his assassination.

Hamas and Iran have immediately blamed Israel for Haniyeh's killing, which has raised the risk of an all-out regional war.

Hours before the Palestinian leader was killed, Israel said it killed a senior commander of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in an airstrike in Lebanon's capital, Beirut.

"Citizens of Israel, challenging days await us. Since the attack in Beirut, threats are coming from all directions. We are prepared for any scenario and will stand united and determined against any threat. Israel will respond strongly against any aggression against us," Netanyahu said in a televised statement.

On Tuesday, the Israeli military announced it had killed Fuad Shukr, who it said was Hezbollah's top commander, blaming him for a weekend attack that killed dozens of young people in the occupied Golan Heights. from Israel.

Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, confirmed Shukr's death on Wednesday, hours after Hamas announced that its political leader Haniyeh had been killed in Tehran.

Netanyahu's government has not taken responsibility for the killing of the Hamas leader and said it does not comment on it./ REL
