“If the ceasefire collapses we will no longer differentiate between the Lebanese state and Hezbollah,” says Israel Katz
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz visiting IDF troops on the northern border said: “we will work with all our strength to enforce the ceasefire agreements, and we will have maximum response and tolerance zero. Yesterday was the first test, shooting at Mount Dov as if it were outside the normal debate or subject to interpretation. We reacted forcefully and that is exactly what we will do every time. we will not allow Hezbollah to return to its old ways.
He also sent a message to the Lebanese government urging it to allow the Lebanese army to play its role in driving Hezbollah north of the Litani River and dismantling all its infrastructure. “If they don't and this deal collapses, the reality will be very clear. First of all, if we return to war, we will act forcefully, we will go further, and the most important thing what they need to know is that there will no longer be immunity for the State of Lebanon. If until now we distinguished the Lebanese State from Hezbollah, this will no longer be the case.
