Netanyahu promises retaliation following assassination attempt by Hezbollah
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a warning to Hezbollah following its alleged assassination attempt against him and his wife, calling it a «grave mistake.»
«The attempt by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake,» Netanyahu wrote in a X post Saturday. «This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future.»
Issuing a stark warning to Iran and the «Axis of Resistance,» which includes Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, the prime minister said Israel is determined to achieve its war objectives following the Oct. 7 attack and «change the security reality in our region for generations.»
«I say to Iran and its proxies in its axis of evil: Anyone who tries to harm Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price; We will continue to eliminate the terrorists and those who dispatch them; We will bring our hostages home from Gaza; And we will return our citizens who live on our Northern border safely to their homes,» he wrote.
«Israel is determined to achieve all our war objectives and change the security reality in our region for generations to come,» Netanyahu said.
Together, we will fight, and with God’s help – together, we will win.
UAV LAUNCHED TOWARD ISRAELI PM NETANYAHU’S PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN CAESAREA

Israel mostró un video de Yahya Sinwar, jefe de Hamas, en un túnel de Gaza horas antes del ataque terrorista del 7 de octubre
Dos días después de haberlo asesinado, el ejército israelí publicó este sábado un video que muestra al líder de Hamás, Yahya Sinwar, en un túnel en la Franja de Gaza horas antes del brutal ataque terrorista del 7 de octubre de 2023.
El video muestra a Sinwar junto a sus hijos y su mujer caminando hacia un escondite en el que el líder de Hamás parece almacenar provisiones antes del letal ataque en territorio israelí, según declaró el portavoz militar Daniel Hagari.
Las autoridades israelíes anunciaron la muerte de Sinwar este jueves, un día después de ser abatido por soldados en el sur de Gaza.
«Pueden ver cómo Sinwar y su familia se escapan por un túnel situado bajo su casa la noche del 6 octubre, horas antes de la terrible masacre», afirmó en un encuentro con la prensa el portavoz del ejército, Daniel Hagari.
Y agregó: «Se quedan solos por horas. Sinwar y su hijo suben y bajan con alimentos, agua, almohadas, una TV, colchones y otras cosas para una larga estadía».
Por su parte, otro vocero indicó: «Sinwar horas antes de la masacre del 7 de octubre: bajando su televisor a su túnel, escondiéndose debajo de sus civiles y preparándose para ver a sus terroristas asesinar, secuestrar y violar».
El ejército también difundió un video que muestra un tanque israelí disparando contra un edificio en el que, según el almirante Hagari, se había refugiado el dirigente del movimiento islamista.
Yahya Sinwar no había sido visto en público desde el inicio de la guerra en Gaza, desencadenada por el ataque del 7 de octubre.
Perseguido por el ejército israelí, fue nombrado jefe político de Hamás luego de la muerte de Ismail Haniyeh, el 31 de julio en Teherán, un asesinato atribuido a Israel.
La autopsia reveló que Sinwar murió por una bala en la cabeza, según el New York Times.
