Middle East

INTERNATIONAL (NPA) — Israel’s Defence Minister, Israel Katz, has announced that an attack has been ordered targeting a commander of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force in Beirut.

Katz said the directive was issued in coordination with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as part of ongoing security operations.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have instructed an immediate strike in Beirut targeting the commander of the Radwan Force in the terrorist organisation Hezbollah in order to neutralise him,” Katz said.

He accused the Radwan Force of carrying out attacks on Israeli communities and targeting soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

“No terrorist has immunity — Israel’s long arm will reach every enemy and murderer,” he added.

The minister stated that the operation forms part of efforts by Israeli authorities to restore security for residents in the country’s northern region, stressing that such actions are necessary to counter ongoing threats.
