By Bernard Moerdler,
Defense Minister Israel Katz said the Dahieh district of Beirut would be treated the same as Israel's northern communities, and that any attack on the northern communities would lead to a strike in Dahieh, in the first Israeli government statement since the start of the current round with Iran. Katz said the IDF would continue to operate in Lebanon against Hezbollah. "We reject Iran's threats outright," he said, adding that any Iranian attempt to link Lebanon and Iran and attack Israel would be met "with great force, as happened yesterday."
