[IsraelTimes] PM takes aim at Iran, says ’Northern Shield’ will continue until ’outcome is achieved,’ dispels claim it was initiated to distract from his legal woes
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday evening that Israeli efforts to destroy cross-border tunnels build by Hezbollah were "not an isolated operation, but a wide and ongoing operation" aimed at targeting a broader push by the Iran-backed terror group to capture parts of the Galilee from Israel.
"The aim of Hezbollah has been to dig tunnels into our territory. It is part of an effort with a breadth and depth that we have not seen before," Netanyahu said during a televised address at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv.
