00:19We haven't exhausted all our means. Let me make that very clear. We still have many tools
00:24at our disposal. This message is simple. We will know how to reach anyone who harms Israel's
00:30citizens in the north, south and further afield.

00:39Israel. The Supreme Leader of Iran, meanwhile, that provides strong backing to Hezbollah,

00:52attack, including Ali Karakeh, the commander of Hezbollah's southern front.

01:03waking up amongst the rubble. Thousands of people slept on the street after being forced
01:08to evacuate their homes.
01:12We had a very difficult night and many people fled the neighbourhood. Missiles rained down
01:18on our house.
01:21Everything in this country has become impossible. I don't know what to do.
