Netanyahu revealed that "there were significant delays in weapons and ammunition supplies" and noted that "this delay will soon be resolved". According to him, Israel will acquire advanced warfare means that will protect soldiers' lives and provide additional striking power to complete military missions.

During his speech, the Prime Minister reviewed achievements on seven fronts of what he called the "War of Revival". Regarding the Iranian arena, Netanyahu stated that Israel destroyed "significant portions of its air defense and missile production capabilities", as well as "a significant component of its nuclear program".

In the Lebanese arena, the Prime Minister claimed that "this is no longer the same Hezbollah" and that the organization has been pushed back "decades". According to his statement, Israel eliminated the organization's senior leadership, destroyed most of its missiles and rockets, and eliminated thousands of terrorists.

Addressing concerns about future ceasefire violations, Netanyahu emphasized that "we will respond with force to any violation". He added that violations would include not only firing but also future attempts by the organization to arm itself.

Regarding the Gaza campaign, Netanyahu reported that the IDF eliminated approximately 20,000 terrorists and returned 154 hostages. He emphasized the commitment to returning the remaining 101 hostages, both living and deceased.

Addressing northern residents, Netanyahu said he is proud of their resilience and is "completely committed to your security, the rehabilitation of your communities, and your future". However, he refrained from calling for their return home at this stage.

The Prime Minister also addressed the situation in additional arenas: in Judea and Samaria, he reported the elimination of hundreds of terrorists and destruction of terror infrastructure; in Yemen, he noted the attack on the Houthi port of Hodeidah; in Iraq, he mentioned the interception of drone attacks; and in Syria, he reported systematic thwarting of attempts to transfer weapons to Lebanon.

Netanyahu concluded his remarks saying that "a good agreement is one that is enforced", and emphasized his commitment to continuing the campaign until victory is achieved. He promised that Israel will maintain full military freedom of action, with complete understanding from the United States.

Nasrallah, who led the organization for thirty years, was killed along with Ali Karaki, the commander of Hezbollah's Southern Front. According to reports, the two were in an underground headquarters beneath residential buildings at the time of the attack. A senior security source noted that the headquarters served as a center for planning and commanding operations against Israel.

The attack was carried out jointly by the Air Force, Intelligence Division, and Operations Division of the IDF. Security officials emphasize that Nasrallah was responsible for a long series of attacks, kidnappings, and terrorist acts against Israelis and foreign citizens over the years.

Despite the elimination, the IDF warns that the threat from Hezbollah has not been completely removed. It was reported that Israeli air forces continue to strike the organization's terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon, including in the Beqaa Valley, the city of Tyre, and Dahieh. Security officials note that these are strategic capabilities built over years with Iranian assistance and funding.

Following these developments, Home Front Command guidelines have been updated. The Defense Minister has approved a ban on gatherings of over 1,000 people in certain areas in central Israel. The public is called to continue adhering to Home Front Command instructions and follow updates through official channels.

Security officials emphasize that despite the significant achievement, the campaign is not over. Among the main tasks still on the agenda: returning the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and safely bringing residents of the north and south back to their homes.

It is estimated that in the coming days, high security tension is expected, both on the northern border and in other arenas. Security forces are preparing for a variety of possible scenarios, including a potential response from Hezbollah or other elements identified with the "axis of resistance".

The elimination of Nasrallah marks a significant turning point in the campaign against Hezbollah and in the overall struggle against terrorist organizations in the region. However, intelligence sources assess that the organization still holds significant operational capabilities, and tension on the northern border is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.

As a rocket fired from Lebanon hit a local soccer field, claiming the lives of ten people and injuring dozens more. The incident, described as the most serious in the area since the October War, raises grave concerns about further escalation on the northern border.

According to initial reports, the rocket hit the soccer field near a playground in the afternoon hours, while children and teenagers aged 10 to 20 were playing there. Medical sources reported that among the 29 casualties, ten were killed on the spot, six were severely injured, seven were moderately injured, and 16 were lightly wounded. Emergency teams arriving at the scene described the sights as a "battlefield," with numerous injured scattered across the area.

The IDF, in an official statement, attributed responsibility for the firing to Hezbollah, despite denials from the organization. "Following IDF assessments and the intelligence at our disposal, the firing at Majdal Shams was carried out by the terrorist organization Hezbollah," an IDF spokesperson stated. "Hezbollah is behind the launch of the rocket that hit the soccer field in Majdal Shams and caused numerous casualties, all civilians, including children."

The incident occurred following a heavy rocket barrage launched from Lebanon, apparently in response to the elimination of four militants from Hezbollah's Radwan Force by IDF forces earlier.

In response to the severe incident, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi convened an urgent situation assessment with senior IDF officials, including the Northern Command commander and the head of the Operations Division. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on a visit to the United States, are holding urgent consultations regarding the Israeli response.

As the situation on the northern border continues to develop, eyes are on the Israeli response and Hezbollah's next moves. The tragic event in Majdal Shams serves as a painful reminder of the heavy price civilians pay in the ongoing conflict.

On 6/18, sirens sounded in the Gaza Strip and Kiryat Shmona in the north, following six rockets that fell in the Manara area with no casualties. In response, the IDF Northern Command chief approved plans for a possible military attack in Lebanon.

In a separate incident, IDF troops thwarted a stabbing attack attempt by a Palestinian terrorist in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank. The terrorist was neutralized during the attempt to attack the troops. The fragile security situation led the American envoy to Israel and Lebanon, Amos Hochstein, to describe during his visit to Lebanon that "we are going through difficult times."

Concerns about an escalation against Hezbollah increased after the organization released a video showing a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) that filmed strategic military sites in the Haifa Bay area. The IDF confirmed it identified four Hezbollah UAVs this week, intercepted two of them, and identified the fourth but decided not to intercept it to avoid setting off sirens in the north.

In the coming days, the state leadership and military will convene to discuss the military response to recent events against the backdrop of escalation in the south and north, and assess the risk of a broad outbreak of fighting.

21:34, IDF Spokesperson:

"Documentation: The IDF continues to strike Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon; in parallel, a suspicious aerial target was successfully intercepted over the maritime area near Jisr al-Zrqa.

Over the last hour, IAF fighter jets struck a number of Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon.
Among the targets struck were several infrastructure sites of the organization in the areas of Al-Taybeh, Al-Adaysseh and Al-Jbayn, and a military compound in the area of Aita al-Shaab.

Earlier in the evening, Air Defense troops successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target over the maritime area near Jisr al-Zrqa. No alert was activated in accordance with policy."

The attack was carried out in the village of Jinata, located approximately 20 kilometers from the Israeli border, and sparked a wave of conflicting reports about the number of casualties and the nature of the operation.

According to Lebanese and Arab media reports, the target of the attack was a three-story building. Al-Manar TV, associated with Hezbollah, reported a small number of wounded but claimed that a Lebanese civilian woman was killed in the attack. Meanwhile, other sources in Lebanon reported at least five fatalities and a large number of injured.

The Saudi TV channel Al-Hadath shed light on the nature of the attack, reporting that it was carried out using a missile launched from the Mediterranean Sea. This report, if confirmed, could indicate the use of advanced technology and high intelligence capabilities by Israel.

Parallel to the events in Lebanon, alarms were activated in Sderot, settlements around the Gaza Strip, and on the northern border. On the northern front, two IDF soldiers were injured—one moderately and the other lightly—as a result of an anti-tank missile strike. The IDF responded with artillery fire on the sources of fire in Lebanon.

On the eastern front, the IDF reported the elimination of two high-ranking militants during an operation in Jenin in the northern West Bank. Additional details about the identities of those eliminated and the circumstances of the operation have not yet been released.

The latest escalation underscores the growing tension along Israel's borders. While the Lebanese front has been relatively quiet in recent weeks, it seems that the elimination attributed to Israel may lead to a new round of violence with Hezbollah.

Israel's security forces are closely monitoring the development of events, with the main concern being a simultaneous escalation on multiple fronts. Nevertheless, experts believe that despite the tension, none of the parties currently has an interest in sliding into a full-scale war.

At the moment, Israel is refraining from official comments on the events in Lebanon, which is consistent with its policy regarding actions attributed to it abroad. However, the message emanating from the attack is clear: Israel is determined to act against security threats, even at the cost of regional complications.
