00:06Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

00:10He made the comments as the United States and allies prepared to defend Israel from

00:14an expected counter-strike following the assassination of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.

00:20Iran is doing its part and is asking us to surround it with a terrorist group of seven

00:26fronts.

00:27Their exposed aggression is not a sign of end, but not against the people of Israel.

00:34We are determined to stand in front of them on every front, in every area, as far as possible.

00:42Anyone who murders our citizens, anyone who harms our country will not atone for his responsibility.
