Lebanon, Israel-Hezbollah tension. Truce at risk: ready to act

New reasons for tension in the Middle East. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that if Hezbollah does not withdraw from southern Lebanon, “there will be no deal” and Israel will be forced to act. “Israel is interested in the implementation of the agreement in Lebanon and will continue to implement it fully and without compromise to ensure the safe return of northern residents to their homes,” Katz said during a visit to a military base in northern Israel, where the Defense The Armed Forces (IDF) displayed weapons captured from Hezbollah.

«But the first condition for the implementation of the agreement is the complete withdrawal of the terrorist organization Hezbollah beyond the Litani River, the dismantling of all weapons and the [rimozione] of terrorist infrastructure in the area by the Lebanese army, something that has not yet happened,” recalled Katz, as reported by the Times of Israel. “If this condition is not respected, there will be no agreement and Israel will be forced to act independently to guarantee the safe return of northern residents to their homes”, warns the minister in Netanyahu’s government.
