Defense Minister Katz Warns of Expanded Security Zone in Southern Lebanon
Defense Minister Israel Katz has threatened to seize additional territory in southern Lebanon and expand Israel’s security zone in the area if Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack on Israel. Katz warned that the IDF is prepared to launch a new invasion and that hundreds of thousands of Lebanese could become displaced. The threat comes amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, and follows a ceasefire forced by US President Donald Trump. The Jerusalem Post reported on the development.
