As an emergency cabinet meeting is ongoing in Tel Aviv, the Israeli Prime Minister opted to release a message in English through his social media accounts, directed at the citizens of Lebanon, in which he confirmed the death of Hassan Nasrallah’s successor.
The Prime Minister of Israel urged “Christians, Shiites, and Sunnis” to rise against Hezbollah, which is collapsing under the weight of Israeli strikes, and to take back their country.
Netanyahu, reflecting on the greatness and beauty of the country in the 1970s, defended Israel’s attacks, stating that Lebanon has “turned into a base for Iran.” “Hezbollah disregards civilians,” he said, clarifying that Israel will continue its actions as it has “the right to defend itself and the right to win.”
In his 3.5-minute message, Netanyahu effectively confirmed the death of Nasrallah’s successor, Hashem Siafedin, regarding whom the pro-Iranian organization has not provided any details for the past three days.
Earlier today, the Israeli Defense Minister had also stated that Siafedin is most likely dead.
