Hezbollah claimed responsibility Tuesday for a drone attack last week targeting the home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Hezbollah “declares its full, complete and exclusive responsibility for the Caesarea operation targeting... Netanyahu,” spokesman Mohammed Afif told reporters.
Afif also acknowledged that some of the group’s fighters were captured by the Israeli army without giving numbers, adding that Israel “bears responsibility” for their lives.
“On the issue of captives currently held by the enemy, I say: I know that the enemy is not committed to the ethics of war and international conventions but it bears the responsibility of preserving the lives of the captives,” Afif told reporters, calling on the International Committee of the Red Cross to ascertain their safety.
