Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, says there will be “no calm in Beirut” if Hezbollah continues its attacks. In statements reported on Monday, Katz links the prospect of stability in Lebanon’s capital to Hezbollah stopping attacks, framing continued hostilities as preventing any pause or easing of tensions. Katz also says Israel intends to set up a military-controlled zone in south Lebanon. The proposed area is described as around the south Lebanon region near the Litani River. The reports present Katz’s comments as part of Israel’s stated operational and deterrence posture toward Hezbollah, with an explicit condition for any “calm” and a corresponding enforcement measure involving a controlled zone near the Litani. The coverage reflects the same key points from both outlets: Katz’s warning about Beirut, his condition that Hezbollah halt attacks, and his stated plan regarding a zone in south Lebanon by the Litani River.
