Israeli Defence Minister Katz equates fate of Kiryat Shmona with Beirut’s

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has urged Lebanon to implement the ceasefire agreement or face additional strikes in the Lebanese capital. “As I said, the fate of Kiryat Shmona [in northern Israel] is the same as Beirut. If there is no quiet in Kiryat Shmona and in the Galilee communities, there will be no quiet in Beirut,” Katz says in a statement on X. “For any attempt to harm the Galilee communities, the roofs of homes in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district will shake,” he added.
