Defense Minister Israel Katz says that he is ordering the military to take “forceful” action to block what he says are Hezbollah members entering border villages where Israeli troops may still be operating.
“Due to the entry of Hezbollah members into Kfar Kila,” Katz has ordered the military “to act forcefully and without compromises against developments of this kind,” his office says in a statement.
Katz says that Hezbollah members must be prevented from reaching areas in southern Lebanon where the IDF is still prohibiting movement, “and if they endanger the IDF troops, they must be hit.”
