Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Saturday evening that the Hezbollah rocket fire on Majdal Shams, which resulted in severe civilian and child casualties, crossed all red lines and would be met with an appropriate response.
"We are approaching the moment of full-scale war with Hezbollah and Lebanon," Katz said. "We will pay a price on both the front and the home front, but by the end of the war, Nasrallah and Hezbollah will be crushed, and Lebanon will suffer severely. We will restore peace and security to the northern communities. I have instructed the Foreign Ministry to prepare for a comprehensive campaign worldwide to gain legitimacy for action in Lebanon."
