My condolences to the family 💔
Very sad. My heart goes out to the family. Really annoying that Trump tied our hands. But after a serious injury to our soldier. We must deal a serious blow. There was a signature, now it's their end.
Enough is enough, we must enter Lebanon from above with planes and flatten it, it is impossible for soldiers to be injured or murdered every day.
This is unbearable and makes no sense.
We must eradicate Hezbollah and stop funneling money to terrorist organizations. My condolences to the family.
