‘No peace in Beirut’ if northern Israel is attacked, Katz warns after rocket fire from Lebanon
Defense Minister Israel Katz warns that “the fate of Kiryat Shmona is the same as the fate of Beirut,” in an apparent threat to the Lebanese capital after two rockets were fired at Israel a short while ago.
He says that without peace in Israel’s northern border communities, “there will be no peace in Beirut either.”
“The Lebanese government bears direct responsibility for any attacks on the Galilee,” he charges. “We will ensure the security of the residents of the Galilee, and will act forcefully against any threat.”
