In a post on X, the Israeli PM stated, “I would like to send my condolences from the bottom of my heart to the families of our heroes who fell today in Lebanon. God bless their blood. May their memory be blessed. We are in the middle of a tough war against Iran’s axis of evil, which seeks to destroy us. This will not happen – because we will stand together, and with God’s help – we will win together. We will return our abductees in the south, we will return our residents in the north, we will guarantee the eternity of Israel.”
Earlier in the day, Netanyahu met with the security establishment heads at the Kirya in Tel Aviv. In a post on X, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office stated, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu consulted with the heads of the security establishment this afternoon, at the Kirya in Tel Aviv.”
His meeting with the security heads comes at a time when the situation in West Asia escalated following Iran’s launch of nearly 180 ballistic missiles towards targets in Israel.
