Israeli President Isaac Herzog issued a warning today regarding the escalating situation at the border between Lebanon and Israel. Herzog stated: "I would like to speak from Tel Aviv about what is happening in the north with Lebanon, and the serious event that occurred this afternoon in Harfesh." He added: "From here, I extend my prayer for a full recovery to the victims of the criminal attack. I embrace and support the residents of the north and south, as well as the soldiers who guard our country and say to them: We stand with you as a whole state."
Herzog continued: "I appeal from here to the international community and its leaders, affirming that it is impossible to remain indifferent to this terrorism from Lebanon and, in general. Israel has been under attack every day for many months from Iranian weapons in Lebanon, in blatant violation of all agreements and international resolutions."
He added: "The world must wake up and understand that Israel has no choice but to protect its citizens, and do not be surprised when it does so with greater force. This is not the time to stand idly by... We need to curb and stop this malicious terrorist aggression."
