Defense Minister Israel Katz said.
This he said during a visit to the northern border area.
If until now we separated the state of Lebanon from Hezbollah…it will no longer be like this.
The defense minister added.
Israel forces have continued strikes against the ‘Hezbollah fighters’ ignoring the agreement to halt attacks and withdraw beyond Litani river.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said ahead of cabinet meeting that they are enforcing the ceasefire with an iron fist and not at the end of the war as he emphasized on ceasefire.
With this, Top Lebanese officials urged Washington and Paris to press Israel to uphold the ceasefire.
This was after dozens of military operations on Lebanese soil that Beirut has deemed violations.
The truce came into effect on November 27th prohibiting Israel from conducting offensive military operations in Lebanon to prevent armed groups including Hezbollah from launching attacks in Israel.
This gives Israeli 60 days to withdraw from South Lebanon.
A mission chaired by the United States was tasked with monitoring, with monitoring, verifying and helping enforce the truce.
