Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue military action against Hezbollah, rejecting calls from the U.S. for a 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon. This follows intensified clashes across the Israeli-Lebanese border, with over 1,500 people killed since fighting began. On Thursday, Israeli airstrikes in Beirut killed Hezbollah commander Muhammad Hussein Srour, leader of the group's air unit. Netanyahu, in a defiant post on X, stated that Israel would "speak in actions, not words" and continue targeting Hezbollah until Israeli residents could safely return home. The strike marks the fourth attack on Hezbollah members within a week as tensions escalate in the region.
