New York: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday rejected a push led by its key backer the United States for a 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon and vowed the military would maintain its bombardment of Hezbollah targets in indefinitely.<\/p>\n
Benjamin Netanyahu, who arrived in New York to address the annual United Nations General Assembly, said airstrikes will continue until all Israel\u2019s objectives have been achieved.<\/p>\n
Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s statement comes even as an Israeli strike on Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs killed the head of Hezbollah\u2019s drone unit Mohammad Hussein Srour.<\/p>\n
The Iran-backed Hezbollah confirmed in a statement that the strike killed Mohammad Hussein Srour, born in 1973.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s \u201cpolicy is clear,\u201d Benjamin Netanyahu said. \u201cWe are continuing to strike Hezbollah with full force. And we will not stop until we reach all our goals, chief among them the return of the residents of the north securely to their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just before his comments, the Israeli military said it killed a Hezbollah drone commander, Mohammad Hussein Srour, in an airstrike in the suburbs of Beirut.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be no cease-fire,\u201d foreign minister Israel Katz posted earlier on X, while defence minister Yoav Gallant said the aim of the armed forces is to keep \u201cthrowing Hezbollah off balance and deepening their loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
