Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently addressed the people of Lebanon in a televised speech, emphasizing that Israel's conflict is not with them but with Hezbollah, a militant group operating in the region.
During his speech, Netanyahu made a plea to the Lebanese citizens, urging them to distance themselves from Hezbollah positions to ensure their safety. He highlighted the use of civilians as human shields by Hezbollah, stating that the group has placed rockets and missiles in residential areas, posing a direct threat to Israeli cities and citizens.
Netanyahu stressed the necessity for Israel to neutralize these weapons to protect its population from potential attacks by Hezbollah. He called on the Lebanese people to take his warning seriously and evacuate areas targeted by Israeli operations to avoid any harm.
The Israeli prime minister assured the Lebanese population that once the military operation against Hezbollah is completed, they can safely return to their homes. He reiterated that Israel's objective is not to harm innocent civilians but to dismantle the infrastructure used by Hezbollah to target Israeli territory.
Netanyahu's message aimed to convey that Israel's actions are focused on countering the threat posed by Hezbollah and ensuring the safety and security of its own citizens. By urging the Lebanese people to prioritize their well-being and avoid being caught in the crossfire, Netanyahu emphasized the distinction between the conflict with Hezbollah and the broader population of Lebanon.
