In a direct threat to Beirut, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant stated today, Tuesday, that "if war breaks out with Lebanon, the situation in Haifa will not be good, while in Beirut it will be devastating." The Israeli Defense Minister pledged not to allow the situation on the Lebanese border to return to what it was before October 7, speaking about pushing Hezbollah fighters away from the border line. He said, "The army will act very soon on the northern border with Lebanon."
