'We attacked 100 targets in 10 minutes': Israeli PM Netanyahu confirms attack on Hezbollah after US-Iran ceasefire

Less than 24 hours after US-Iran ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks the people for their resilience. In a video statement, he said, “We accomplished massive achievements together, our fighters on the front, and you in the rear.” As reports of strikes in Lebanon have surfaced, Netanyahu confirms, “We attacked 100 targets in 10 minutes in places that Hezbollah was sure were immune.” Assuring safety to the citizens, he said that the country has created security strips deep beyond our border in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.

His comments on attacks in Lebanon come after Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif mentioned reports of ceasefire violations, a day after brokering peace between US and Iran. In his latest social media post, he wrote that “ceasefire violations have been reported at few places across the conflict zone.” He also noted that it undermines the “spirit of peace process.” Urging all parties to maintain the decorum of the agreement, he added, “I earnestly and sincerely urge all parties to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire for two weeks, as agreed upon, so that diplomacy can take a lead role towards peaceful settlement of the conflict.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated the terms of the 14-day ceasefire after attacks in Lebanon. He posted, “The Iran–U.S. ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both. The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the US court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.” Iran warned it would withdraw from the current agreement if Israel continues attacking Lebanon.

Netanyahu mentioned the killing of the Iranian supreme leader and top IRGC commanders and Basij Force. As he continued his speech in Hebrew, he said, “We destroyed the military, the Iranian navy, dozens of aircraft, missile bases, headquarters; we severely damaged the regime's repression mechanism, and we eliminated thousands of its operatives. And we have proven that we can hunt them down anywhere; they have nowhere to hide.”
