PM Netanyahu mocks online rumors of his death | IDF conducts heavy strikes on Hezbollah terror targets


 PM Netanyahu mockingly confirms he's still alive in video with US Ambassador Huckabee

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mocked online rumors of his demise in a video with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who told him that the president had asked him to "make sure" he is "okay."

“Yes, Mike, I’m alive,” Netanyahu responded laughingly. Trump wanted to make sure “because you guys get along too well,” Huckabee continued.

“We shake hands with five fingers in each hand,” Netanyahu replied, referring to false claims that recent videos of him were AI-generated because they showed his hand as having six fingers.

IDF conducts heavy strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure across Lebanon

"A short while ago, the IDF struck Hezbollah command centers in Beirut. This is in addition to several other command centers that were struck overnight in Beirut," the IDF annoucned.

"In addition, three launch sites were struck in the Bekaa area, deep within Lebanese territory. From these sites, Hezbollah terrorists launch rockets toward the State of Israel. Furthermore, the IDF struck Hezbollah launchers and weapons storage facilities set to be used by the organization’s terrorists to carry out terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians."

"The IDF will continue to operate with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which chose to join the war and operate under the sponsorship of the Iranian terror regime. The IDF will not allow harm to Israeli civilians."

IDF detects Hezbollah preparations for large-scale rocket attack later today

"In recent hours, the IDF has detected expanded preparations by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to launch rocket barrages toward the State of Israel in the coming hours," the IDF warned. 

Several days ago, the IDF had apologized for not issuing a warning to the public after receiving similar intelligence.

"The IDF is operating in order to thwart Hezbollah’s activities. The aerial defense array and IDF soldiers deployed along the border are alert and prepared, both in defense and in offense. The public is requested to follow the Home Front Command’s defensive guidelines," the military stated.

Moshe Davidovich, the head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council, which lies on the western sector of the border with Lebanon, warned his residents: “Around 19:00, an attack from Lebanon is expected. I ask that you follow the instructions and remain near a protected space for as long as required.”

 Netanyahu: 'We eliminated Iranian gangsters', urges Israelis to keep avoid 'channels of gloom'

"This morning, we eliminated Ali Larijani. Ali Larijani is the boss of the Revolutionary Guards, that group of gangsters that effectively runs Iran," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared.

"Alongside him, we also eliminated the commander of the Basij – they are the gangsters' assistants who are terrorizing the population in the streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities."

"We are undermining this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people an opportunity to remove it. It will not happen all at once, and it will not happen easily. But if we persist, we will give them the chance to take their destiny into their own hands," he added.
