After 1 am - Sunday night:
STATEMENT BY PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU FOLLOWING A SECURITY SITUATION ASSESSMENT
"Citizens of Israel, like you, I was shocked to see the horrific photos in the wake of Hezbollah's murderous attack in Majdal Shams.
Among those who were murdered are young children who were playing soccer, and others. All of our hearts are broken over these sights.
We embrace the families and the entire Druze community in its difficult hour, which is also our difficult hour.
Since I was updated about the disaster, I have been holding continuous security consultations and I have directed that our return to Israel be brought forward
As soon as I arrive, I will immediately convene the Security Cabinet.
I can say that the State of Israel will not let this pass in silence. We will not overlook this."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also spoke earlier this evening with Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif and expressed his deep outrage over the murder of innocent people and children by Hezbollah.
The Prime Minister conveyed heartfelt condolences on behalf of the entire people of Israel to the families of those who were murdered and to the entire Druze community.
Prime Minister Netanyahu made it clear that Israel will not overlook this murderous attack and that Hezbollah will pay a heavy price which it has not paid up to now.
