Every time Netanyahu speaks he LIES and sticks 2 fingers up to both the USA and the world – there has NEVER been anybody more EVIL than this man – Mark

Israel’s attacks in Lebanon will continue for the foreseeable future, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said, despite confirmation the leader of the country’s main adversary there, Hezbollah, had been killed.

About 15 hours after it launched massive air strikes in southern Beirut on Friday night, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) released a statement saying Hassan Nasrallah had died in the blasts. Hezbollah confirmed he had been killed, without saying how.

Some allies urged Israel to use assassinating Nasrallah, who headed the militant group for more than three decades, as a full stop to its conflict with Hezbollah. It didn’t even serve as a comma.

The country’s military continued to bombard multiple areas across Lebanon throughout Saturday, including massive blasts in Beirut again as night fell.

In a brief statement made after 10pm local time on Saturday (5am Sunday AEST), Mr Netanyahu said Nasrallah’s death would change the balance of power in the Middle East.

“Our work is not done, challenging days lie ahead,” he said.

Earlier in the day, the IDF’s most senior figure, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi in a video message released by the military said the army was “determined to keep fighting” and that it had “more missions ahead on all fronts”.
