Netanyahu says Israeli forces close to capturing Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon: Video
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday, April 15, that Israeli forces are close to overcoming a key Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon as fighting intensifies in the region.
In a recorded speech, Netanyahu said the Israel Defense Forces were continuing operations against Hezbollah, with combat centred on the southern Lebanese municipality of Bint Jbeil.
“Our forces are continuing to strike Hezbollah. The fighting is focused on Bint Jbeil,” Netanyahu said. “We are about to overcome Bint Jbeil. We are, in effect, about to eliminate this great stronghold of Hezbollah.”
Bint Jbeil has long been regarded as a key flashpoint along the Israel-Lebanon border and was a major battleground during the 2006 Lebanon War.
