Israeli President Isaac Herzog says “we did not want this war”
Washington — Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Sunday that his country “did not want this war” with Hezbollah and ahead of Israel’s attacks on Friday that killed a senior commander of the terrorist group, “it is assumed that they were planning an attack.”
“We did not want this war,” Herzog said Sunday on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan. ” We’re not seeking war. This war was waged upon us by the proxies of the empire of evil of Iran, on Oct. 7 by Hamas, and on Oct. 8 by Hezbollah.”
The comments come after Israel and Lebanon traded heavy fire overnight, following a string of attacks against Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terror group, in recent days. On Friday, an Israeli airstrike in southern Beirut killed a top Hezbollah commander, Ibrahim Aqil, among others, in the deadliest targeting of the Lebanese capital since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war. And earlier in the week, Hezbollah vowed retaliation after exploding devices killed dozens and wounded thousands. Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attacks.
