“Nasrallah was one of the greatest enemies of the State of Israel of all time… his elimination makes the world a safer place,” military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told a televised briefing.

“To our enemies I say: We are strong and determined,” he added.
Israeli authorities have announced new public safety regulations, banning the gathering of more than 1000 people in central Israel, with tensions soaring since the September 27th strike.
