Defense Minister Israel Katz conducted a tour of northern Israel's border with Lebanon on Wednesday, accompanied by senior military officials including the head of the Northern Command and the commander of Division 91. During the visit, Katz surveyed the front line, received an update on Operation "Silver Plow" aimed at destroying Hezbollah's infrastructure, and praised IDF soldiers for their efforts against the organization's operatives.
Katz conveyed a strong message to Hezbollah and Iran, stating that Israel would not withdraw from its security zones. He warned that if Hezbollah joins Iran in attacking Israel, the organization would suffer severe consequences, losing additional territory in southern Lebanon. These areas, including Nabatieh and the Litani River region, would become a permanent Israeli security zone, with the IDF prepared for such a maneuver.
The Defense Minister further elaborated on potential Israeli actions, indicating that the entire Shia population up to the Awali and Zahrani rivers would be evacuated northward. This measure, he explained, would enable a powerful strike against terrorist infrastructure and remove the threat of drones over northern Israeli communities. He also stated that Beirut's Dahieh district would be evacuated and its terrorist infrastructure targeted, leading to over a million Shia civilians becoming displaced within Lebanon.
Katz directly addressed Hezbollah leaders, stating, "Nasrallah destroyed the Shiite community in Lebanon until he was eliminated, and Naaim Qassem may completely destroy it until he too is eliminated and sent to meet Nasrallah and his successor in the depths of hell."
