Emergency workers arrive at the scene of an Israeli air strike in the town of Maisara, north of Beirut, September 25, 2024
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.
