ai generated text
In Lebanon, Israeli ground troops and fighter jets have struck Hezbollah sites, resulting in the deaths of eight Israeli soldiers, the first combat fatalities of Israel's invasion of Lebanon. The soldiers were killed during a gun battle with Hezbollah operatives in a southern Lebanon village. The Israeli military has not disclosed details of the soldiers' deaths, describing the fighting as "close-range."
Sadly, we are seeing an escalation of war events in the Middle East and in Ukraine, with potential reflections on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I have ordered increased security measures for command facilities, units, facilities and storage of weapons and ammunition …in order to protect the [personnel], facilities and material assets.
The U.K. stands fully behind Israel's right to defend its country and its people against threats.
What will be the depth of the invasion? How much will be cleared? We don't know.
We will respond. We can locate important targets and we can hit them precisely and powerfully.
We have the capability to reach and strike every location in the Middle East and those of our enemies who have not yet understood this, will understand this soon.
Israel will continue to defend its citizens and uphold its national dignity with or without António Guterres.
Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel, as nearly all the countries of the world have done, does not deserve to set foot on Israeli soil.
I would like to send my condolences from the bottom of my heart to the families of our heroes who fell today in Lebanon.
We are in the midst of a fierce war against Iran's axis of evil, which seeks to destroy us. This will not happen—because we will stand together, and with God's help, we will prevail.
We are in the middle of a tough war against Iran's axis of evil, which seeks to destroy us.
On Tuesday, Israel cut the road between Kfar Chouba and Kfar Hamam by firing a missile that dug a ditch about 500 meters long. With the help of the Lebanese army, the road was opened and the village's 30 families were transported to quieter areas. A soldier was also killed in Halta and 50 families left for the Beqaa.
On Monday evening, a drone killed three young people carrying water for a herd of goats.
I condemn the broadening of the Middle East conflict with escalation after escalation. This must stop. We absolutely need a cease-fire.
