Defence Minister Israel Katz warned Tuesday that if a ceasefire reached last week collapses, Israel will penetrate deeper into Lebanon and will no longer differentiate between the Lebanese army and Hezbollah.

“If we return to war, we will act with greater force and penetrate deeper and… there will be no immunity for the state of Lebanon,” he said during a tour of Israel’s northern border, adding that “until now, we made a distinction between Lebanon and Hezbollah… it will no longer be the case”.
