Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Lebanese border on Sunday, his office said, as the Israeli military continued to pound Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon.
"Netanyahu visited the Lebanon border today," his office said in a statement, his second such visit to the frontier in less than a month.
The Israeli Prime Minister took the opportunity to reiterate that “the key to enabling northerners to return to their homes lies in Hezbollah's withdrawal north of the Litani”.
“With us without an agreement, we will push it back to the north of the Litani and prevent it from rearming”, he said, promising to ‘strike at any attempt to rearm Hezb’ and to ‘disconnect the oxygen pipe that fed this formation from Iran, via Syria’.
Netanyahu's visit came as more than 100 projectiles were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory on Sunday, the military said.
Several of these projectiles were intercepted by the air force, while some fell in unpopulated areas, the military added.
Hezbollah carried out a series of strikes against Haifa and Saint-Jean d'Acre, against which it also launched two attack drones that were intercepted.
In a series of communiqués, it claimed to have fired missiles from southern Lebanon against Israeli military bases and gatherings of soldiers.
