Following the Israeli airstrike on Beirut in response to rocket fire on northern Israel, Defense Minister Israel Katz warns Lebanon to enforce the ceasefire agreement or the IDF will carry out additional strikes in the Lebanese capital.
“As I said, the fate of Kiryat Shmona is the same as Beirut. If there is no quiet in Kiryat Shmona and in the Galilee communities, there will be no quiet in Beirut,” Katz says in a statement.
“For any attempt to harm the Galilee communities, the roofs of homes in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district will shake,” he says.
“I send a clear message to the Lebanese government: If you do not enforce the ceasefire agreement, we will,” Katz warns.
