JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on May 25 he had ordered the military to intensify its offensive in Lebanon in an effort to “crush” Hezbollah, accusing the group of targeting Israeli forces with drone attacks.
“I have ordered an even greater acceleration of our operations,” Mr Netanyahu said in a video statement posted on his Telegram channel.
“It is true that they are attacking us with drones, including fibre-optic drones, but we have teams working on countermeasures, and we will solve this issue… We will intensify our blows, increase our firepower, and we will crush them.” AFP
