Defense Minister Israel Katz, during a visit to an Israeli military position in southern Lebanon, threatens to “crush Hezbollah’s head” if the terror group violates the ceasefire agreement.
“We defanged the snake, and if Hezbollah does not withdraw beyond the Litani [River] and tries to violate the ceasefire, we will crush its head,” Katz says in remarks provided by his office
“We will not allow Hezbollah operatives to return to the southern villages and reestablish the terror infrastructure that will pose a threat to the northern communities,” he continues.
“We will ensure the removal of the threat and the restoration of security to allow the residents of the north to return safely to their homes,” Katz adds.
