Tel Aviv [Israel], September 28 : The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel, Israel Katz on Saturday said that the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah leader, is one of the most justified counter-terrorism actions Israel has ever taken.
Katz lauded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials behind the activity and said that they will continue to safeguard Israel's safety.
In a post on X, Katz said, "The elimination of arch-terrorist Nasrallah is one of the most justified counter-terrorism actions Israel has ever taken. Nasrallah, who dedicated his life to the destruction of Israel and led over 30 years of terror activity against Israel, including in recent days, deserved to be taken down, and it's a good thing he was. I commend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for initiating this bold action, the Defense Minister and cabinet members for approving it, and the Chief of Staff and the IDF for their brilliant planning and execution. We will continue to safeguard Israel's security."
