Defense Minister Israel Katz visited an IDF outpost in Lebanon today, in preparation for the next stages of implementing the cease-fire agreement. "We have defanged the snake. If Hezbollah does not withdraw beyond the Litani River and tries to violate the cease-fire, we will crush its head. We will not allow Hezbollah operatives to return to the villages of the south and re-establish the terror infrastructure that will pose a threat to the settlements of the north, and we will ensure the IDF's ability to continue to fully enforce the reality on the ground," he said.
