Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will not withdraw from the security zone in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed throughout the country and the threat to northern Israeli residents is removed. Katz declared that the Dahieh neighborhood in Beirut is equivalent to Israeli communities like Avivim, Misgav Am, and Kiryat Shmona. He warned that any rocket fire, drone, or UAV launch targeting Israeli towns, villages, or kibbutzim would be met with a powerful response directed at Dahieh. Furthermore, Katz asserted that if Hezbollah joins an Iranian attack on Israel, it will be severely punished, and the IDF is prepared to conduct maneuvers into additional areas in the Nabatieh and Litani regions.
