Tel Aviv: Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has claimed that its fighter jets have attacked and destroyed Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
In a statement on Tuesday, IDF said that it has destroyed all the weapons used by the Hezbolllah.
The Israel army had already said that it was ready to fight with the Hezbollah also if there are provocations from that end.
The IDF is already engaged in fighting the Hamas in Gaza, but in addition it is always prepared for a multipronged fight if Israel is attacked from other sides.
Israeli military posted a statement on X platform saying that Israeli fighter jets targeted various infrastructure including weapons.
Meanwhile, AFP reported that at the UN, Israel's ambassador displayed a yellow star on his chest Monday as he addressed the Security Council, provocatively pledging to wear the badge until members of the body condemn Hamas "atrocities."
"Some of you have learned nothing in the past 80 years. Some of you have forgotten why this body was established," envoy Gilad Erdan said, as he denounced the Security Council for "staying silent" over the unprecedented deadly attacks by Hamas Palestinian militants against Israel on October 7.
The deeply divided 15-member council has not been able to any resolution on the three-week-long war between Israel and Hamas or to bring the parties to any pacific line.
Israel won't agree to ceasefire
AFP also reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu categorically ruled out a ceasefire in Israel's war against Hamas Monday, as ground forces pushed into Gaza and freed one hostage.
"Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism," Netanyahu said, slapping aside demands from UN agencies for a truce.
"This will not happen," the premier told foreign media, vowing Israel would "fight until this battle is won".
