Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed Oct. 28 by helicopter in Israel’s northern border area in order to observe the last stage of the massive Lethal Arrow military exercise that simulated multifront warfare.
The prime minister, dressed in a black polo shirt that matched his black mask, chatted with the soldiers and was photographed with them. Then he turned to send a well-photographed warning message to Hezbollah: “Even during the coronavirus [outbreak], our enemies are not stagnant and neither are we. In this exercise I have been impressed by the vast improvement in the IDF’s [Israel Defense Forces] offensive capabilities,” Netanyahu said. “Hezbollah and the state of Lebanon should take this into account. Whoever attacks us will encounter firepower and a steel fist that will destroy any enemy.”
