Israeli prime minister Benajamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel would continue to pound Hezbollah targets and called on Lebanese citizens to rid themselves from the grip of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
"Anyone who has a missile in their living room and a rocket in their garage will not have a home," Netanyahu said at an army base at an undisclosed location after the military said it had found ammunition in people's homes.
"Our war is not with you, our war is with Hezbollah. Nasrallah is leading you to the brink of the abyss...Rid yourself from Nasrallah's grip, for your own good."
