Attacked in ways they "could not imagine"

Israel has dealt a series of blows to Hezbollah in Lebanon that the extremist group "could never have imagined". This says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after last week's violent incidents.

In recent days, we have dealt a series of blows to Hezbollah that they could never have imagined, says

published on Sunday.

He also says that the message that Israel wants to send to the terrorist organization will eventually get through.

If Hezbollah has not understood the message, I can assure you that they will.

Will not tolerate

He also promised to ensure that the Israeli citizens who fled the battles that have been going on across the border with Lebanon for almost a year will be able to return home.

No country can tolerate attacks on its citizens or its communities. And we, the State of Israel, will not tolerate it either, says Netanyahu.

Israel has been silent about Lebanese accusations that the Jewish state is behind the wave of exploding pagers and walkie-talkies that hit Hezbollah this week. But in an interview with Sky News published earlier on Sunday, Israel's President Isaac Herzog is dismissive.

"Many enemies"

Asked whether it is possible to defend such an attack when you do not know if civilians are affected, Herzog responds:

I categorically reject any links to the origin of one or another operation.

When asked to clarify his statement, Herzog continues that he "does not imply anything" but that Hezbollah has "many enemies".

In Israel, the president has a largely ceremonial role and is therefore not believed to be involved in decision-making regarding such actions.
