Israeli president Isaac Herzog said he “rejects out of hand any connection” to the operation against Hezbollah on Tuesday and his nation has an “inherent right” to defend itself. There are terrible tragedies in this war and we never want to get there, but we have the inherent right to defend ourselves Israeli president Isaac Herzog Mr Herzog told Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips on Sky News: “First of all, I reject out of hand any connection to this, or that source of operation. “They are evacuated from their home for a year and Hezbollah keeps on sending its missiles against our people endlessly – at the end you have the right to defend yourself.” On whether Israel denies responsibility for recent explosions this week or if they were caused by someone else, he said: “I did not allude to anything except to say there are many enemies of Hezbollah out there, quite a few these days. “So, everybody is hurt, is worried, is concerned, is really bleeding and everybody is bracing for the worse – unfortunately.” Of Mr Herzog, he added: “I was listening to a security spokesman rather than a president who would really give a way out of this, out of this tragedy, out of this mayhem, and provide a peace vision, for all concerned, leave the propaganda about babies beheaded and rape to the, you know, security spokespeople.” The comments come as Lebanon’s Hezbollah launched more than 100 rockets across northern Israel, with some landing near the city of Haifa, as the sides appear to be heading for all-out war.
