Tel Aviv: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel “will continue to strike Hezbollah wherever necessary” after the IDF announced it had assassinated Ali Yusuf Harshi, the secretary of Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem. “Our message is clear: whoever acts against Israeli civilians will be targeted. We will continue to strike Hezbollah wherever necessary, until we restore full security to the residents of the north,” Netanyahu writes in a Hebrew-language post on X. In addition to assassinating Harashi, “the IDF struck a series of terror infrastructures in southern Lebanon: crossing points used to transfer thousands of weapons, rockets and launchers, as well as weapons depots, launch sites, and Hezbollah command centers,” Netanyahu adds, sharing IDF footage of the attacks.
