Israel will act 'forcefully' if Lebanon truce deal is breached, minister says
Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz told the U.N.'s Lebanon envoy on Tuesday that any breach of a ceasefire deal that the security cabinet is set to vote on would result in Israel acting "forcefully".
"If you do not act, we will do it, forcefully," Katz told envoy Janine Hennis-Plasschaert when meeting her in Tel Aviv, adding Israel would have "zero tolerance" when defending its security interests in the future, according to a statement from his office.
