Netanyahu confirms killing of Top Hezbollah leader, urges Lebanese to Oust Group
In his address, Netanyahu emphasized the need for change in Lebanon, stating, “You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering. It doesn’t have to be that way.” He called on the Lebanese people to take action against Hezbollah, framing it as essential for national recovery and peace in the region.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel has eliminated a prominent Hezbollah leader, Hashem Safieddine, who has been missing since October 3.
In a message directed at the Lebanese populace, Netanyahu called for the removal of the Iranian-backed group, describing Hezbollah as a destructive force in Lebanon.
In a rare English-language video, Netanyahu stated, “We have degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities; we have taken out thousands of terrorists, including [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah himself, and his successors.”
He emphasized that Hezbollah is currently weaker than it has been in many years.
Netanyahu lamented Lebanon’s decline from its historical status as the “Pearl of the Middle East” to a nation plagued by chaos and conflict.
“A gang of tyrants and terrorists destroyed it.

Today, it’s a place of war,” he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the Lebanese people to seize the opportunity to liberate their country from Hezbollah, warning that failure to act could plunge Lebanon into a prolonged conflict akin to the situation in Gaza.
“Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end,” he implored, expressing hope for a future where Lebanese and Israeli children can coexist peacefully.
This appeal comes as Israel has intensified its military operations against Hezbollah along the Israel-Lebanon border in recent weeks.
