Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that Israel will target Hezbollah positions in Beirut if the group continues attacking Israeli cities and civilians.
"Tonight, I spoke with [United States] President [Donald] Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens—Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut," Netanyahu wrote in a post on X. He added that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will continue operations in southern Lebanon "as planned."
The comments came after reports that Netanyahu and Trump discussed the situation in Lebanon and Iran during a phone call. Earlier, Trump said Hezbollah had agreed to stop all the shooting and that Israel would not attack Beirut. The renewed threat also comes as tensions over Lebanon have repeatedly contributed to Iran's decision to halt talks with the US. Meanwhile, the Lebanese Embassy in Washington stated that Hezbollah officially accepted a US proposal for a reciprocal ceasefire with Israel.
