President Isaac Herzog, speaking at the Israel Defense Prize ceremony, said that no Hezbollah drone distinguishes between Israelis or between opinions. 'Even now, as always, only together will we stand before all challenges,' he said, urging decision-makers to prioritize the north.
At the Israel Defense Prize ceremony in Jerusalem, President Isaac Herzog delivered remarks focusing on national unity in the face of Hezbollah's drone threat. His statement that 'no Hezbollah drone distinguishes between one Israeli and another, or between one opinion and another' echoed themes of shared vulnerability across Israel's political spectrum. Herzog also explicitly called on decision-makers to prioritize the northern front, a region that has seen intensified Hezbollah rocket and drone activity in recent months. The president's comments come as the IDF continues operations against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, Prime Minister Netanyahu made a similar pledge to respond to Hezbollah fire, though his language shifted from a specific Beirut strike commitment to a broader vow to 'act accordingly.' This marks Herzog's third public engagement this week with a security-related focus, following awards for reservists and volunteers.
