Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video regarding the directive to strike Dahieh in Beirut, claiming that 'there will be no situation where Hezbollah attacks our cities and our citizens and the terror headquarters in Dahieh remain off-limits.' His remarks were made even though Dahieh has been struck only twice during the northern 'ceasefire.' Netanyahu further claimed that 'we continue to deepen operations in southern Lebanon, eliminating Hezbollah strongholds. Hezbollah is on the run.' Meanwhile, Defense Minister Israel Katz said at a ceremony for the changing of the Defense Establishment Security Chief that 'Dahieh in Beirut will be treated the same as communities in northern Israel.'
