Summary
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has emphasized that Israel did not seek to escalate the conflict with Hezbollah into a full-blown war, despite increasing tensions and rocket attacks from the militant group. He expressed a commitment to ensuring the safety and return of the tens of thousands of Israelis displaced from their homes near the northern border with Lebanon.
In light of recent hostilities, including a barrage of rockets from Hezbollah that prompted widespread sheltering among Israeli civilians, Herzog’s statements reflect a dual focus on security and diplomacy. He condemned the attacks, asserting that Israel has no desire for war but will take necessary measures to protect its citizens. The Israeli government is actively warning Lebanese civilians to evacuate areas near Hezbollah missile sites, as military operations intensify. Herzog’s remarks come amidst ongoing military responses from Israel, highlighting the precarious situation for both Israeli citizens and Lebanese residents caught in the conflict.
