Israeli defence minister threatens Hezbollah, Iran-backed axis

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a ground operation in Lebanon to neutralize threats and protect residents of the Galilee and northern regions.

“The IDF has begun a ground maneuver in Lebanon in order to remove threats and protect the residents of the Galilee and the north,” Katz said, according to Clash Report. 

“Hezbollah will pay a heavy price for its aggression and its activity in the Iranian axis aimed at destroying Israel. If Naim Qassem misses Nasrallah and Khamenei so much — he will be able to meet them soon in the depths of hell together with all those eliminated from the axis of evil.”

Katz emphasized that the operation is intended to safeguard civilians in the Galilee while targeting those orchestrating attacks from Lebanon.
