At a Memorial Day ceremony, Defense Minister Israel Katz delivered a forceful warning to Hezbollah leadership, making clear that Israel’s military campaign in Lebanon will continue despite the current ceasefire.

Speaking at an event honoring Israel’s fallen, Katz tied the sacrifices being commemorated to the ongoing fighting, saying Israel remains committed to securing its northern border and removing long-standing threats.

“Hezbollah chose to attack Israel in the service of its Iranian masters and will pay the full price,” Katz said.
