Netanyahu speaks out following deadly Israeli strikes against Iranian proxies

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an address on Wednesday, speaking to the recent blows against some Iranian proxies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a public video statement on Wednesday, speaking of recent significant blows dealt to the Iranian proxies.

Netanyahu spoke of Israel's recent targeting of Iran-backed Houthis, and a strike against a key Hezbollah commander, Fuad Shukr, who was killed on Tuesday in southern Beirut, Lebanon.

The prime minister made no mention of the deadly strike on Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, for which Israel has not taken responsibility.

While nobody immediately claimed responsibility for the attack on Haniyeh in Tehran, Israel was quickly blamed after pledging to kill Haniyeh and other Hamas leaders over the terrorist group's Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish State.

MILITARY OFFICIAL SAYS NO US INVOLVEMENT IN STRIKE OF SENIOR HAMAS LEADER IN TEHRAN

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said it is "Iran's duty to avenge Haniyeh's blood because he was martyred on our soil."

Iran's embassy in the United Kingdom called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council following the assassination of Haniyeh.
