During his address at the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is left with no choice but to defend itself against the ongoing threat posed by Hezbollah from Lebanon. Netanyahu stated that as long as Hezbollah continues to pursue a path of war, Israel has the right to take action to ensure the safety of its citizens and remove the threat.
Following Hezbollah's attacks on Israeli civilians, which resulted in the displacement of around 60,000 individuals, the Israeli military has intensified its efforts to combat the militant group. The military operations have led to significant casualties in Lebanon and forced hundreds of thousands of civilians in southern Lebanon to flee their homes.
Netanyahu affirmed Israel's commitment to degrading Hezbollah until all objectives are achieved. The Israeli government remains resolute in its stance to protect its citizens and restore peace and security in the region.
