Benjamin Netanyahu has released a short video on X mocking online rumors claiming he had died, as tensions remain high in the region amid Israel’s ongoing military operations against Iran and its allies.

In the video, Netanyahu was seen enjoying a cup of coffee at a café outside Jerusalem while joking about the false reports.

“I’m dead for coffee,” he said sarcastically, using a common Hebrew expression meaning he loves something intensely.

He also addressed speculation that a recent televised address of his had been artificially generated, after viewers claimed he appeared to have six fingers on one hand. Raising his hands toward the camera, Netanyahu quipped: “Do you want to count the number of fingers?”

Beyond the humour, he urged citizens to continue following safety instructions during rocket alerts.

“You give strength to me, to the government, to the army, to the Mossad,” he said, referring to Israel’s intelligence agency.

Netanyahu also revealed that Israel is conducting operations that cannot yet be publicly disclosed.

“We are doing things that I cannot share at this moment, but we are striking Iran very hard, and also Lebanon,” he said.

His comments come as Israel, the United States, and Iran continue to escalate military confrontations across the region, with missile exchanges and operations raising fears of a wider Middle East conflict.

Meanwhile, Iran’s elite military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, issued a fresh threat against Netanyahu. According to Iran’s state news agency, Islamic Republic News Agency, the IRGC vowed to pursue and kill him, referring to him as a “child-killer,” if he is still alive.
