Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the military was changing the "security balance" along the northern border after launching the deadliest strikes on south Lebanon since fighting started last October.

"I promised we would change the security balance, the balance of power in the north –- and that is exactly what we are doing," Netanyahu said during a security meeting, adding that Israel's policy was to preempt threats rather than "wait" for them.
