Israel was established not by the U.N. but “with the blood of our heroic fighters, many of whom were Holocaust survivors, including from the Vichy regime in France,” said the Israeli premier.
The weapons were in an underground storage facility in the Dahiyeh district south of Beirut, according to the IDF.

Several European foreign ministers have accused Israel of attacking UNIFIL bases in Southern Lebanon.
Members of the Cabinet say they were excluded from the alleged decision to halt strikes against Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital.
“We will continue to strike Hezbollah without mercy everywhere in Lebanon,” including its capital, said the prime minister.
“We listen to the American government’s thoughts, but will make our final decisions based on Israel’s national security needs,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.
“The only one burning children alive were your buddies over at Hamas,” retorted Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon.
The journalist writes that the two leaders argued about numerous combat-related issues, including the Israeli government’s focus on destroying Hamas before freeing all of the hostages.

“Let us respect the generational trauma that unites so many otherwise diverse populations,” the Washington Democrat stated.
Asked about the call, Biden “joked as he walked out of the Roosevelt Room, ‘we didn’t talk about the storm,’” per the White House pool report.
