Israel has issued a direct warning to Lebanon, stating that it will no longer differentiate between Hezbollah and the country should the fragile cease-fire with the terrorist group collapse. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz emphasized that there will be no exemption for Lebanon and that Jerusalem will respond with maximum force and zero tolerance.
Katz urged Beirut to authorize the Lebanese army to enforce the agreement, which includes keeping Hezbollah away from the Litani River and dismantling all related infrastructure. Failure to comply could lead to severe consequences, with Israel prepared to act decisively if the cease-fire breaks down.
