“We are continuing our battle with Iran’s other terrorist proxies. Well, two days ago we took out Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind whose goons beheaded our men, raped our women, burnt babies alive. We took him out. We are going to win this war,” he said in the video.

On being asked if something could deter him, Netanyahu responded with a straight “no.”

In a statement released online, the Iranian military has confirmed that Hezbollah was involvement in the attack.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah said that it had fired rockets into northern Israel, including at a military base near Haifa, following reports from the Israeli army of a barrage of projectiles launched from Lebanon.

Hezbollah said that it launched rockets at the northern town of Safed as the Israeli army reported that 115 projectiles struck Israel on the same day.
