Netanyahu's comments come after IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir said that Israel should attack Beirut in response to Hezbollah's drone attacks.

In a significant development, Israel launched Operation Arrows of Fire, targeting over 70 Hezbollah sites across Lebanon. The operation has led to evacuations in Beirut’s southern suburbs and school closures in northern Israel.

The militant leader, in a speech, had criticized the Lebanese government for engaging in direct talks with Israel.

New footage released by Hezbollah appears to show a series of drone strikes targeting Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, raising fresh concerns about tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. Hezbollah claimed the attacks targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the town of al-Bayada.

Hezbollah intensified drone operations as Israeli attacks continued across Lebanon and battlefield pressure steadily mounted.

Major General Rafi Milo makes it clear that Hezbollah has crossed a red line from the army's perspective. "We will not tolerate firing on the home front."

“It is the people’s right to take to the streets and bring down the government in the face of the American-Israeli project targeting our institutions," said Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem.
