The Israeli PM holds up the killing of Hassan Nasrallah as a warning to both Tehran and the wider Middle East
The Israeli assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon shows that no location in the Middle East is beyond the reach of the Jewish state, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned regional rivals and foes in a televised address on Saturday.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed the leader of the Lebanese militant group in a bombing of an underground compound in Beirut. Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah’s death on Saturday.
Netanyahu warned Iran – referring to it as the “ayatollahs’ regime” – that Israel will retaliate against any state that threatens it.
”Those who strike at us, we will strike at them. There is nowhere in Iran or the Middle East beyond the reach of the long arm of Israel, and today you know how true that is.”
