Netanyahu vows relentless strikes against Hezbollah

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Monday that Israel would continue to strike Hezbollah "without mercy," including in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.

The statement was made in a video released by his office following a visit to a military base that had been targeted by a Hezbollah drone attack the previous day, which resulted in the deaths of four Israeli soldiers.

"I want to be clear: we will continue to strike Hezbollah mercilessly in all parts of Lebanon, including in Beirut," Netanyahu said. His comments come amid escalating tensions between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah, which have led to an intensification of hostilities along the Israel-Lebanon border.
