Prime Minister Netanyahu released a statement today (Tuesday), warning Lebanese that "whoever has a missile in the living room and a rocket in the garage will no longer have a home."
He also said that "I say to the people of Lebanon: Our war is not with you. Our war is with Hezbollah. Nasrallah is leading you to the edge of the abyss ... But I tell you something else. He is putting your country in danger. Free yourselves from Hezbollah's grip. Free yourselves from Nasrallah's grip, for your own good."
IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy said Tuesday morning in an assessment of the situation: "We must not give Hezbollah a pause. Keep working with all your might. We will accelerate the offensive operations today and strengthen all the systems. The situation requires continued intensive action in all arenas."
The Lebanese Health Ministry announced today that the number of fatalities in IDF strikes in Lebanon has risen to 558 dead and 1835 wounded, including 50 children and 94 women.
Meanwhile, the IDF reported that IAF fighter jets had completed a second wave of attacks on Hezbollah terrorist targets in Lebanon this morning (Tuesday). According to the IDF, secondary explosions were clearly visible during the attacks, indicating that large quantities of weapons were stored in the buildings.
