comprehensive news: israel announced new combat targets on the 16th to respond to the attacks of hezbollah in lebanon.

according to the times of israel, the israeli prime minister's office announced on the 16th that the israeli security cabinet has included "ensuring the safe return of residents in northern israel to their homes" as an official operational goal, and israel will continue to take action to achieve this goal.

the picture shows the "merkava" main battle tank of the israeli army that was destroyed by hamas militants during the "al-aqsa flood" operation.

according to reports, after the palestinian islamic resistance movement (hamas) launched an attack on october 7 last year, hezbollah in lebanon attacked northern israel almost every day, causing tens of thousands of local residents to be displaced. israel recently threatened to launch a large-scale operation on the israel-lebanon border to strike hezbollah in lebanon.

previously, israel's three major operational goals were to eliminate hamas's military and governance capabilities, rescue all detainees, and ensure that the gaza strip no longer posed a security threat to israel.

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu met with us president's special envoy amos hochstein in tel aviv on the 16th.

according to the us axios news website, people familiar with the matter revealed that hochstein warned israel not to launch a wider war against lebanon and said that the united states remains committed to promoting a diplomatic solution.

according to a statement issued by the israeli prime minister's office, netanyahu said during the meeting that it would be impossible for local residents to return home without fundamentally changing the security situation in northern israel. he said that although israel appreciates and respects the support of the united states, it will eventually take necessary measures to maintain its security and send residents in northern israel back home safely.

reuters reported that israeli defense minister galant said on the 16th that the possibility of reaching an agreement is disappearing because lebanon's hezbollah continues to be "bound" to hamas and refuses to end the conflict. "therefore, the only way to ensure that residents in northern israel return to their homes will be through military action."

according to the palestinian news agency, the israeli army attacked the northern and central gaza strip on the evening of the 16th, killing at least 6 civilians and injuring many others.

the report said that since the new round of israeli-palestinian conflict, the israeli military operations in the gaza strip have killed 41,226 palestinians and injured another 95,413.

the yemeni houthi armed forces issued a statement on the 16th saying that the organization shot down a us-made mq-9 drone over zamar province in southwestern yemen. the statement stressed that these actions will not stop until the military operations in the gaza strip are stopped and the blockade on the palestinian people in the gaza strip is lifted.

hamas leader yahya sinwar congratulated yemen's houthi armed forces on their missile attack on israel in a letter on the 16th, saying that they had "successfully penetrated deep into the enemy's territory."

the houthis said on the 15th that they had launched a new type of hypersonic missile into central israel and successfully hit the target. this claim was denied by the israeli military. the houthis released a video on the 16th showing the new hypersonic missile named "palestine 2".

sinwar also said in the letter that hamas is ready to fight a long war of attrition. "our efforts, together with the resistance forces in yemen, lebanon and iraq, will defeat the enemy."
