""We are at war with Hezbollah. In just the last few weeks, our heroic fighters have eliminated over 600 terrorists. But we are not taking our foot off the pedal. I said press the pedal even harder," Netanyahu emphasized.

He added: "That's right, they're shooting fiber-optic drones at us, we have a special team working on that, and we'll solve that too. We need to increase the blows and the intensity. We'll hit them head on.".

Immediately after the Prime Minister's announcement, the IDF spokesman published: The IDF is attacking infrastructure of the terrorist organization Hezbollah in the Bekaa and in several other areas in Lebanon.

A US official told Al Jazeera: Hezbollah has ignored repeated requests to stop firing at Israel, including the latest warning. Israel will respond to this - this is not the Biden administration.

Earlier today, the Minister of National Security called on Netanyahu: "I call on the Prime Minister - pick up the phone, call Trump, go to him and knock on the table. Make it clear that the State of Israel is not ready to accept, not ready to accommodate. Make it clear that we are not ready to continue the campaigns - but to defeat them.".

According to him, "We need to cut off the electricity in Lebanon, occupy Ad Zahrani, and even more than that - and return to a massive war. The State of Israel cannot absorb and contain, absorb and contain... I tell the Prime Minister to stop this now and this time with all his might, until the enemy is destroyed.".
