Viciously over the last 20 years, in the last year, completely unprovoked. A day after the Hamas Massacre in October 7th, hezbollah began attacks against israel which forced more than 60,000 israelis on our northern border to leave their homes. Becoming refugees in their own land. Hezbollah turned vibrant towns in the north of israel, to ghost towns. Think about this in equivalent terms. Just imagine if terrorists turned toes in San Diego into ghost towns. How long would the american government tolerate that . A day . A week . A month . I doubt they would tolerate it even for a single day. Yet israel has been tolerating this intolerable situation for nearly a year. Well, ive come here today to say enough is enough.

Good to be with you. Im katy tur. We have Breaking News out of lebanon. Any moment from now, Vice President , you know what, thats the wrong script. We do have Breaking News out of lebanon where israel just struck the headquarters of hezbollah. U. S. Designated terror group. You can see this in video that the strike was big, hitting a building in southern beirut. An israeli official tells Nbc News that the target was the iranbacked leader, Hassan Nasrallah. It wasnt clear whether he had been killed. The strike had interesting timing, launched just an hour after prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this to the United Nations. They endanger their own people. They put a missile in every kitchen, a rocket in every garage. I said to the people of lebanon this week, get out of the Death Trap that hezbollah has put you in.
