You [and Lebanon] committed to implementing the [ceasefire] agreement and disarming Hezbollah, and that is not happening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">He continued, \u201cWe will not allow harm to our communities, we will not allow harm to our soldiers, and if the two stand against one another, the Lebanese government and Lebanon as a whole will pay the full price.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Katz warned that as things stand, Beirut is forcing Israel to ensure the safety of its own citizens and soldiers at the expense of the Lebanese Republic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cWe have no territorial claims against Lebanon, but we will not be prepared for Lebanese territory to once again become what it was for many years\u2014a base for firing at the State of Israel. We will not allow a return to that situation. Therefore we are addressing and warning: Act and take action before we do even more,\u201d the defense minister said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">If slain Hezbollah chief\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/the-nasrallah-strike-how-the-iaf-secretly-prepared-and-kept-crews-in-dark\/\">Hassan Nasrallah<\/a>\u00a0\u201cdestroyed Lebanon, then [his successor],\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/qassem-hezbollah-will-fight-israel-and-us-until-the-ultimate-sacrifice\/\">Naim Qassem<\/a>, will also ruin it by continuing down this path,\u201d Katz added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Katz\u2019s message was delivered in a recording from a meeting in the command bunker at the Kirya together with Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt.
