Defense Minister Israel Katz responded to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who condemned IDF strikes in Beirut's Dahiyeh quarter. According to Katz, "There will be no peace in Beirut and no order and stability in Lebanon without security for Israel. Agreements must be respected, and if you don't do what's required - we will continue to act with great force. The Lebanese government must disarm Hezbollah and not allow them to produce UAVs that threaten northern settlements and Israeli citizens."
