“Together, we stand side-by-side in the defense of the free world,” the Israeli president said.
“We deal with both removing threats and preparing all the possibilities to be able to attack wherever we decide,” Israel’s defense minister said.
The Foreign Ministry said that the calls from France, Germany and Britain to exercise restraint “lack political logic and contradict principles of international law.”
Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said a major attack by Hezbollah on the Jewish state is only a matter of time.
The move comes as Israel prepares for attacks by Iran and Hezbollah.
Nabih Berri, an ally of the Iranian terror proxy, added that a “response or revenge is a dish that is eaten cold.”
The Pentagon chief reiterated to his Israeli counterpart Washington’s pledge “to take every possible step to defend Israel.”
Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy said the target of the attack was an IDF position near Ga’aton.
The report said that Israeli intelligence indicates that the attack could be launched before the Gaza talks scheduled for Aug. 15.
Iran and its Hezbollah proxy have vowed to avenge both the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.
Jerusalem closed “Al Mayadeen” for 45 days after Hamas launched its war last year, but the ban expired in January.
The relationship involved not only ideological guidance but also direct instructions.
