Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stark warning to Hezbollah during a visit to Lebanon on Wednesday, stating that the organization would face severe repercussions and territorial losses if it joined Iran in an attack on Israel. Katz, accompanied by senior Northern Command officials, specified that Hezbollah would "be dealt a severe blow and lose additional territories in southern Lebanon in the areas of Nabatieh and the Litani River, which will become part of Israel's permanent security zone."
He further elaborated on the potential consequences, stating that Beirut's Dahieh district would be evacuated, displacing over a million Shiites. The visit included a briefing on "Silver Plow" operation, aimed at destroying Hezbollah's terror infrastructure in the region. Katz praised the IDF commanders and soldiers for their determined actions against Hezbollah operatives.
Katz emphasized Israel's resolve, reiterating that "we will not retreat from the security zones." He concluded with a personal threat directed at Hezbollah's leadership, drawing a parallel between current leader Naim Qassem and his predecessor Hassan Nasrallah, suggesting Qassem could "completely destroy" the Shiite community before he is eliminated.
