“The Prime Minister and I, together with the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), have taken coordinated actions to establish a new equation (…) If Israeli cities continue to be attacked, we will evacuate and strike the Shiite Dahieh district in Beirut, Hezbollah’s stronghold,” Israel Katz said at the conference, according to a Defense Ministry statement.
“The United States has agreed to this principle and conveyed it to the Lebanese government and all relevant actors (…) either the fire on Israeli communities will stop, or – if the fire continues – we will strike Dahieh. This equation will be upheld,” the minister added.
U.S. President Donald Trump late Monday stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to cancel a military raid in Beirut, and Hezbollah agreed that “all shooting will cease.”
B. Netanyahu late Monday told D. Trump, “that if Hezbollah does not stop attacking our cities and our citizens, Israel will strike terrorist targets in Beirut.”
