00:00The Israeli army says its move to dismantle Hezbollah's infrastructure and capabilities
00:06is ongoing.
00:10In these images, it is targeting a southern Lebanese border town southeast of Beirut.
00:18Israeli troops were deployed near Israel's border with Lebanon as tensions increased
00:21following the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike in
00:26Beirut on Friday.
00:28Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he decided Nasrallah needed to be killed
00:32because the killing of other top Hezbollah commanders is not enough.
00:38Nasrallah's elimination is an essential condition to achieve the goals we were setting, returning
00:42northern residents safely back to their homes and changing the regional balance of power
00:47for years.
00:48Anyone who hit us, we will hit them.

00:56and today you know how much it's true.

01:16the conflict escalated less than two weeks ago.
01:19In Beirut, the Lebanese cabinet held an emergency meeting.
01:25The government is doing everything in its power to confront this destructive, hateful
01:29war that Israel is waging against us.
01:33We went to the United Nations looking for a solution and we met with world leaders,
01:38but the enemy went with the intention of treachery and planning more massacres.
01:44Here in northern Israel, the Iron Dome system is being used to intercept rockets near the
01:48border with Lebanon.
01:50The Israeli government has prohibited large gatherings, demonstrations and sports events
01:54in central Israel amid fears of a counter-attack following the killing of Nasrallah.
