Israel Katz has said military operations in southern Lebanon will continue under all circumstances.

The Israeli defence minister said the IDF was studying the possibility of carrying out additional operations in Lebanon, Al Jazeera reported.

He said Israel’s objective long-term was to disarm Hezbollah.

But its immediate focus was removing the group’s weapons from areas under Israeli control south of the Litani River.

The news outlet reported multiple Israeli air raids being carried out on the city of Nabatieh, a strategic hub for Hezbollah.
