Netanyahu visits Israeli troops in Lebanon, vows not to withdraw while Hezbollah threatens

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli soldiers in occupied Lebanese territory on June 30, emphasizing that Israel will not withdraw from southern Lebanon while the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group continues to pose a threat.

"Our position is firm: we will not leave southern Lebanon until the threat is removed. As long as Hezbollah is here, armed and threatening us, we will remain here," Netanyahu told the troops. He issued a direct order: "If you find your security, your lives, or the lives of other soldiers threatened, act immediately! Do not wait, act immediately! This is an ironclad order."

Netanyahu praised the Israeli military's achievements against Hezbollah, calling the group "the most important part of the Iranian axis." He claimed that after recent battles, Hezbollah's previous stockpile of 150,000 missiles and rockets has been reduced to 8%, with 9,000 militants killed.
