The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon said two Israeli Merkava tanks destroyed and burst through the main gate of a base before dawn on Sunday morning. Earlier in the day, Mr Netanyahu said in a statement addressed to Mr Guterres: “The time has come for you to withdraw Unifil from Hezbollah strongholds and from the combat zones.” He added: “The IDF has requested this repeatedly and has met with repeated refusal, which has the effect of providing Hezbollah terrorists with human shields.” Emergency services personnel attend the scene of a drone strike in Binyamina, Israel, on Sunday Hezbollah on Sunday hit a military base near the Israeli city of Binyamina with a drone. “This action underscores the United States’ ironclad commitment to the defence of Israel, and to defend Americans in Israel, from any further ballistic missile attacks by Iran,” Maj Gen Ryder said.
