On the 13th local time, Israeli Defense Minister Katz issued a statement saying that the IDF plans to continue to control the Alitahir Heights in southern Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah or any other party from returning and re-establishing strongholds. Katz said that the highland is still part of the so-called “security zone” established by Israel in southern Lebanon, and the Israeli army will not withdraw or redeploy until Hezbollah is disarmed throughout Lebanon. Katz claims, “Anyone who comes close to this highland will be exterminated.”
