Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed international calls for a ceasefire with Hezbollah, vowing to continue military operations against the Lebanese militant group.
The conflict, which has seen over 11 months of cross-border rocket fire, has led to the evacuation of thousands of Israelis from northern communities. Despite pressure from world leaders, including the U.S., Netanyahu insists that Israel will use 'full force' to stop Hezbollah's attacks.
The escalation has raised concerns about a broader regional conflict as tensions remain high.
