Netanyahu: We're not waiting for threats

In less than a day, Israel has struck over 1,300 targets in Lebanon. For those who still haven't understood, I want to clarify Israel's policy. We don't wait for threats, we preempt them, says Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Prime Minister urges the Lebanese who have not yet left their homes near Israel's targets in southern Lebanon to do so.

Please, move away from dangerous areas, he says and promises that they will "soon" be able to return home.

The Prime Minister defended the widespread attack by saying it strikes out major threats to Israel.

Whoever tries to harm us, we harm even more, he says according to The Times of Israel.

I promised that we would change the security balance and power balance in the north. That is exactly what we are doing.

Netanyahu's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant calls Monday's many attacks a "significant milestone" in the conflict against Hezbollah.

This has been Hezbollah's toughest week since they were founded, our results speak for themselves, he says.

According to Gallant, "tens of thousands" of drones and rockets have been destroyed during the day – many of them, according to Netanyahu, "targeted at Israeli cities and Israeli citizens".

Over 350 people have been killed and more than 1,200 injured, according to the Health Department in Beirut.
