IF ISRAEL’S ceasefire with Hezbollah collapses, the country’s military will widen its strikes and target the Lebanese state itself, Defence Minister Israel Katz warned today.
He was speaking after Hezbollah and other observers alleged that Israel had been responsible for multiple violations of the 60-day truce.
The day before, Tel Aviv’s military carried out a wave of air strikes that killed nearly a dozen people after Hezbollah had fired a volley of projectiles as a warning to Israel to stop violating the ceasefire.
Speaking to troops on his country’s northern border today, Mr Katz said that any violations of the agreement would be met with “a maximum response and zero tolerance.”
He also warned that Israel would widen its strikes beyond the areas where Hezbollah activities are concentrated.
People take part in a Palestine Solidarity Campaign rally in central London, November 30, 2024
‘We gather at the gravest of times’
AT LEAST 150,000 Palestine solidarity protesters took to the streets of central London on Saturday to repeat their call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to arms sales to Israel.
This was the 22nd national protest organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), CND, the Stop the War Coalition, the Muslim Association of Britain, Friends of Al Aqsa and the Palestine Forum in Britain.
Israel invaded Gaza after Hamas staged an attack on October 7 2023, during which 1,139 people were killed and about 250 taken hostage.
Israel’s invasion has now killed over 44,000 people, more than half of them women and children, with aid groups warning that the death toll is likely to be far higher.
The war has destroyed vast areas of Gaza and displaced around 90 per cent of the population of 2.3 million, often multiple times.
Opening the rally outside Downing Street, PSC chair Louise Regan reminded protesters that “we gather at the gravest of times,” as the death toll in Gaza continued to rise with women and children making up the majority of those killed.
“British complicity and its refusal to end all arms sales to the Israelis is a disgrace.”
