ISRAEL plans to continue striking Hezbollah “with full force” and will not stop until all of its goals are achieved, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday, snubbing global calls for a ceasefire.
Mr Netanyahu spoke as he landed in New York to attend the annual meeting of the United Nations general assembly meeting and as US and European officials pressed for a 21-day halt in fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement to allow time for negotiations.
A short time before his statement, the Israeli military said it had killed Hezbollah drone commander Mohammed Hussein Surour in an air strike on a block of flats in the suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut.
