Defense Minister Israel Katz, following a visit to Israeli forces operating inside Lebanon:
“I came here today to strengthen IDF commanders and soldiers, both active-duty and reservists, who are operating with dedication and courage inside the security zones in Lebanon and Syria to protect the residents of the Galilee and Golan Heights against threats from jihadist forces.
As the prime minister and I have made clear, we will not withdraw from the security zones.
If Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack on Israel, it will suffer a severe blow and lose additional territory in southern Lebanon, in the areas of Nabatieh and the Litani River, which will become part of Israel’s permanent security zone. The IDF is prepared to carry out the maneuver.
The entire Shiite population up to the Awali and Zahrani rivers will be evacuated northward to enable a powerful strike against terrorist infrastructure in the area and push the drone threat away from northern Israeli communities.
Beirut’s Dahiyeh district will also be evacuated, and its terrorist infrastructure will be struck. More than one million Shiites will become displaced in Lebanon.
Nasrallah destroyed Lebanon’s Shiite community before he was eliminated, and Naim Qassem could destroy it completely before he, too, is eliminated and sent to meet Nasrallah and his predecessor in the depths of hell.” x.com/GuyAz/status/211031797…
