Netanyahu Orders Expansion of Security Zone in Lebanon to Counter Hezbollah Threats
Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday that he has ordered the military to further expand the security zone in Lebanon.
“I have ordered the army to further expand the existing security zone in Lebanon,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.
He stated, “The goal of this is to neutralize the threat of attacks from the enemy (Hezbollah fighters) and to push the anti-tank missile fire away from the border.”
Netanyahu said during a visit to the Northern Command, “The Hezbollah group has been severely affected by the Israeli army but still maintains a ‘residual capability’ to fire rockets into Israel.”
He added, “Iran is no longer the Iran of before, Hezbollah is no longer the same Hezbollah, and Hamas is no longer the same Hamas as before.”
He added, “These are no longer terrorist armies that threaten our existence – they are defeated enemies fighting for their own survival.”
“We are determined, we are fighting, and with God's help, we are winning,” Netanyahu said.
