Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote on his X account:
“My heart burns with pain. I extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the dear deceased Rotem Yanai, may she rest in peace, who fell as a result of a booby-trapped drone strike by Hezbollah. The cursed Hezbollah terrorists bear sole responsibility for Rotem’s death, and we must destroy them.”
He continued, escalating his remarks:
“Mr. Israeli Prime Minister, you know that the only way now to prevent harm to our soldiers is to destroy 10 buildings in Beirut’s Dahiyeh for every drone. For every drone that harms one of our soldiers, destroy a hundred buildings. It’s that simple. That is how deterrence works. Mr. Prime Minister, let the Israel Defense Forces win and protect our soldiers.”
He also published a photo of the soldier whose death the Israeli army announced during a military operation in northern Israel.
