He claimed that sustained military pressure has weakened key adversaries, including Hezbollah and Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran is not the same Iran, Hezbollah is not the same Hezbollah, and Hamas is not the same Hamas,\u201d Netanyahu stated, describing them as \u201cbattered enemies fighting for their own survival.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Expansion of Military Strategy<\/h4>\n<p>Netanyahu emphasized a shift in Israel\u2019s security doctrine\u2014from reactive defense to proactive offense. He said Israeli forces are now taking the initiative and operating deep inside hostile territories.<\/p>\n<p>As part of this approach, he revealed the establishment of three \u201csecurity zones\u201d beyond Israel\u2019s borders:<\/p>\n<p>In Syria: Stretching from the Hermon ridge to the Yarmouk region<\/p>\n<p>In Gaza: Covering more than half of the territory of the Gaza Strip<\/p>\n<p>In Lebanon: A zone that he has now ordered to be expanded further<\/p>\n<p>According to Netanyahu, the expansion in southern Lebanon aims to neutralize cross-border threats, particularly anti-tank missile attacks and potential infiltration attempts.<\/p>\n<h4>Claims of Success Against Hezbollah<\/h4>\n<p>Netanyahu credited Israeli operations with significantly degrading Hezbollah\u2019s capabilities. He referenced the killing of longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah and the elimination of thousands of militants.<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed that Israel had neutralized a major missile threat, stating that up to 150,000 rockets once aimed at Israeli cities had been effectively removed from the equation. However, he acknowledged that Hezbollah still retains the ability to launch attacks.<\/p>\n<h4>Message to Israeli Citizens<\/h4>\n<p>Addressing residents in northern Israel, Netanyahu acknowledged the hardships caused by prolonged conflict and displacement. He said the government has been instructed to provide substantial support to affected communities and urged citizens to remain patient and resilient.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by honoring fallen soldiers and expressing gratitude to IDF personnel and reservists who have been engaged in operations for more than two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are determined, we are fighting, and with God\u2019s help, we are winning,\u201d Netanyahu said.<\/p>\n<h4>Broader Implications<\/h4>\n<p>The remarks underscore a continued escalation in regional tensions, particularly involving Israel and Iran-aligned groups across multiple fronts. Netanyahu\u2019s emphasis on territorial security zones and offensive strategy signals a long-term shift in Israel\u2019s military posture, with potential implications for stability across the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netanyahu Declares Strategic Gains Against Iran and Proxies, Vows Expanded Security Zones. &nbsp;
