 Netanyahu says Israel is changing "balance of power" on northern front .

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country is changing the “balance of power” on its northern front, as Israel’s military launched the most intensive airstrikes on what it says are Hezbollah targets in Lebanon since 2006.

“I promised to change the security balance, the balance of power in the north - this is exactly what we’re doing,” Netanyahu said at a meeting in the headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Monday.

“We’re dismantling thousands of rockets and missiles aimed at Israeli cities and citizens,” he added.

Netanyahu said Israelis faced “complex days” ahead and asked them to follow the Home Front Command guidelines. 

“To those who didn’t understand, I would like to clarify Israel’s policy: we’re not waiting for a threat, we are ahead of it. Everywhere, in every arena, anytime. We’re eliminating seniors, eliminating commanders, eliminating rockets – and counting. Those who will try to hurt us, we will hurt him gravely,” he said.
