The head of the Israeli Defense Ministry denied the claims of a cease-fire in Lebanon
Israel will not agree to any agreements that "do not guarantee its right to independently strengthen counter-terrorist measures and fight terrorism."
The head of the Israeli Defense Ministry, Israel Katz, said that Israel has no intention of concluding a cease-fire agreement or agreeing to a pause in hostilities with Hezbollah until it achieves all its goals. This was reported by The Times of Israel on Tuesday, November 12.
"There will be no ceasefire or respite in Lebanon. "We will continue to strike Hezbollah with full force until the goal of the war is achieved," Katz emphasized.
The minister added that Israel will not agree to any agreements that "do not guarantee its right to independently strengthen counter-terrorist measures and fight terrorism."
Later, I presented yesterday with the forum of Israel's policy on Lebanon:
The dangerous and powerful activity carried out by Israel and the security forces in front of Israel and the elimination of Israel is the image of victory, and it is necessary to continue the activity in order to increase and play the capabilities of Israel and realize the fruits of victory.

It also became known that Israel plans to achieve the disarmament of Hezbollah, the withdrawal of its forces beyond the El-Litani River in Lebanon and the provision of the opportunity for the residents of the northern regions of Israel to safely return to their homes.
