Matthew Wright speaks to international affairs expert Owen Bennett Jones, who fears the killing will continue for 'another year at least'.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described a Hezbollah drone attack on his house as an 'assassination attempt' and a 'grave mistake'. Though no casualties resulted from the attack, dozens are reported dead in ensuing strikes on refugee camps in Gaza.
Netanyahu insists the drone attack "will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future."
"I say to Iran and its proxies in its axis of evil: Anyone who tries to harm Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price. We will continue to eliminate the terrorists and those who dispatch them."
"We will bring our hostages home from Gaza. And we will return our citizens who live on our Northern border safely to their homes."

No casualties were reported following the strike.
It comes as Israel's war with Lebanon's Hezbollah group - a Hamas ally backed by Iran - has intensified in recent weeks.
Hezbollah said on Friday that it planned to launch a new phase of fighting by sending more guided missiles and exploding drones into Israel.
Also on Saturday, at least 33 people have been killed in an Israeli strike on a refugee camp in Gaza - including women and children.
The death toll from the airstrike in Jabalia is expected to rise as people remain trapped in rubble.
Women and children are among those who have died, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA.
Meanwhile, around 85 people are believed to have been injured. Israel is yet to comment on the incident.

His 'cynicism' comes as more than 100 Muslim Labour councillors have written to Keir Starmer demanding an "immediate and complete suspension of arms sales to Israel".
The letter, coordinated by the Labour Muslim Network and signed by 114 elected councillors, cited "clear violations of international humanitarian law" by Israel.
It also follows the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar which created 'optimism' that a ceasefire could now be in reach.

‘Janet’s just heard me celebrating the Hamas leader's elimination, mourning the carnage of Palestinian civilians and condemning the decision to demand land be occupied illegally by Israelis', he says.
James also discusses the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who 'masterminded' the October 7th attacks last year.
Sinwar was confirmed dead by Israel's foreign minister on Thursday following DNA testing on bodies recovered at the scene.
Israel's defence minister, Yoav Gallant, took to Twitter following a ground operation by the IDF, writing: "We will reach every terrorist - and eliminate him" adding soon after "our enemies cannot hide."

In an open letter, the cohort of elected Labour politicians call for their own party leader Sir Keir Starmer to impose "an immediate and complete suspension of arms sales to Israel".
Coordinated by the Labour Muslim Network, the letter says "we must not be complicit in these clear violations of international humanitarian law".
"It is our moral obligation to act now."
Elaborating on this letter, Milani says: ‘Enough is enough, we cannot watch teenagers being burned alive’.

Ben and Mencer also clash over questions regarding an Israeli airstrike that resulted in the burning of tents at a hospital in Gaza.
It comes after an Israeli air attack on a hospital complex in central Gaza, where displaced Palestinians had sought shelter from Israel’s ongoing assault on the besieged territory. At least four people were killed and dozens more wounded in the strike.
The attack, which occurred in the early hours of Monday, hit the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital complex in Deir el-Balah, causing flames to sweep through a crowded tent camp.
Mr Mencer claims the story has been 'fabricated to create world outrage'.

Israel's Foreign Affairs Minister, Israel Katz, says the Hamas leader was killed by Israeli soldiers.
He added: "This is a significant military and moral achievement for Israel and a victory for the entire free world against the axis of evil of radical Islam led by Iran.
"The elimination of Sinwar opens the possibility for the immediate release of the hostages and paves the way for a change that will lead to a new reality in Gaza - without Hamas and without Iranian control."

Recent hours have seen Israel investigate whether Sinwar had been killed as part of a ground operation by the IDF.
Sinwar has long been hailed as the mastermind behind the October 7 attacks.
The Israeli military says it is now "checking the possibility" that Sinwar is among three to have died in the Gaza operation.
Israel's defence minister, Yoav Gallant, took to X following the operation, writing: 'We will reach every terrorist - and eliminate him,' adding soon after 'our enemies cannot hide.'
Sinwar, who has led Hamas within Gaza since 2017, is believed to have joined the militant group in the early 1980s.

According to sources close to the project, Ministers have re-evaluated the cost-benefit of HS2 and concluded the line should continue beyond Birmingham.
It would reverse a decision made by the then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at his party's conference last year.
The route was originally scheduled to connect London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, but was scaled back by the previous Conservative government who scrapped 'Phase 2’.
Phase 2a was to connect the West Midlands to Crewe, whilst ‘Phase 2b’ was from Crewe to Manchester.
LBC understands that Sir Keir Starmer is preparing to reverse the change to 'Phase 2a', as the route already has parliamentary approval - meaning the line will run from the capital beyond Birmingham to Crewe.
Insiders have told LBC that the Prime Minister held private discussions on the matter at last month's Labour Party conference and that the government had been planning to make a formal announcement in the new year.

This announcement follows the UK’s recent imposition of new sanctions on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, with accusations that Israel has allowed “impunity to flourish” among extremist settlers.
Additionally, foreign secretary Lord Cameron disclosed that he had been preparing to sanction Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich and national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir during his final days in office before the general election was called.

The German, who has also previously managed Paris St Germain, becomes only the third non-Englishman to hold the post after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Labelling it an "honour", the German manager explained taking up the role ahead of England's 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign is a "huge privilege".
Gareth Southgate's successor had been in talks with the FA in recent weeks, with the decision to recruit Tuchel approved by the FA Board early last week according to reports.
Tuchel will be assisted by English coach Anthony Barry, who is currently the assistant manager for the Portugal national team under Roberto Martínez.
Apologising to fans who want an English coach managing the nation, he said: "I am sorry that I have a German passport.
"All of these supporters felt my passion for the Premier League and the country. I loved to live here.
"Hopefully I can show them that I am proud to be the English manager and I will do everything to show respect to this job and this country."
But Tuchel told reporters he brings a "British edge" to that German passport.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced questions on China’s ‘unwarranted, aggressive and intimidatory’ military exercises near Taiwan from Rishi Sunak, a topic James and Natasha note is odd.
'We just witnessed a rather strange PMQs'
'All this sensibleness is bizarre'
'I've never seen an energy like that before'
'If he's thinking legacy building...he's never been particularly strong on China'
'I can't help but think Sunak missed some open goals'
'Maybe Sunak is persuaded that this is where the national interest lies'
'If you want to go on a foreign issue of unity, why not go on Ukraine'
'Maybe he is searching for something to wrong foot Starmer on'
'Starmer was unprepared on that issue'
'He's had a couple of years to talk about China if he wanted to, it's not a topic to bring up at your last but three PMQs'
'Until we have the budget and a new Tory leader, this is all just a bit of window dressing'

He said people who wanted to see no arms sent to Israel were "still furious" and the Israeli government and their supporters felt they had been "let down" by an ally at a vital time.
An alternative is to sanction ministers who are "recommending and pushing for deeply illegal acts", he said.
"We need diplomacy to play a part alongside what the Israelis have done to try and give Israel the safety and security it deserves, and that's why I think the change the government made on the arms embargo was mistaken," Lord Cameron said.
Lord Cameron also opened up about the death of his son and how he is taking on a new role helping to develop treatments for rare genetic diseases.
