Defense Minister Israel Katz said the country is not interested in meddling in internal Lebanese politics as Israel has “learned our lessons.”

Summary

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel has “defeated Hezbollah” following a series of operations, including the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The campaign included a September attack on Hezbollah communication devices, where thousands of pagers exploded in Beirut, killing 39 and injuring over 3,400.

Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu personally approved the pager attack despite internal opposition.

Israel now hopes an international coalition encourage Lebanon to normalize relations with Israel.

    Far more precise than missile strikes… Especially when every single military target is tightly integrated with non-military infrastructure and civilians. And the men and women of Hezbollah (women are always conveniently left out, but are 100% complicit) should know better than to share instruments of terror with their children.
