Hezbollah fired missiles into Northern Israel yesterday, which were intercepted by Israeli missile systems. Israeli leadership responded angrily to the U.S.-Iran peace deal as the IDF continued operations in Southern Lebanon. Multiple Israeli soldiers were killed south of Beirut as Israeli forces continue to consolidate positions and go after Shia proxy army targets in the south. The IDF continues to be challenged by FPV drones, which are effective against armor and infantry in southern Lebanon.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz rages on Israeli TV:

"Nobody can tell us what to do, and we've proven it. The entire first line of Lebanese villages has been destroyed.  We are destroying all the houses. The residents will never see them standing before their eyes again.

"In Lebanon, the 200,000 residents who lived in the "security zone" are not returning.  Not one of them is returning.

"We are fighting there. We do not need al-Julani. Al-Julani, the terrorist in a suit, does not need to come and help us. We know Syria well. He is not going to help us in Lebanon. He should stay in Syria, not interfere with us, and not make us interfere with him.

"Do you know what really hurts the jihadists? Maybe it hurts them when you kill them personally, but they don't care as much about that.  What really hurts them is when you take territory from them and destroy their homes—and that's what we did.

"You remember the raids? They would go in and come out.  We go in, destroy, and do not leave. That's what we're doing now in Lebanon

"The IDF must be on the other side of the border, beyond the border, defending the State of Israel against jihadist organizations in Lebanon, in Syria, and in Gaza. We will not move from the "security zones"—not in Syria, not in Gaza, and not in Lebanon.

"Why are we on the other side in Syria?  Because we need to be there to protect ourselves against what we see in Syria.

"We are already in more than 60% of Gaza, and all of it is destroyed. It is destroyed above ground and underground. That is the difference in the approach we introduced."

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

"For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich began to highlight risks to Israeli society by Arab citizens.

"In Arab society within the State of Israel, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of weapons, including machine guns, explosive devices, and anti-tank missiles. This is more dangerous than Iran. Just imagine 3,000—not 300,000, just 3,000—Arabs with M16 rifles. One hundred in Kfar Saba, one hundred in Ra'anana, one hundred in Be'er Sheva, one hundred in Afula—just 3,000 in total.

"In the next multi-front war, that would be an existential event compared to which October 7 would pale. The State of Israel has lost its monopoly on the use of force.

"People think, "They're killing each other over there in Arab society. That's not true. It can turn nationalist in a second and be directed against us. It can turn on us overnight. You have Bedouin communities that possess weapons arsenals equivalent to those of a military battalion."

"Israel will not tolerate attacks on our soldiers or on our territory, and it will exact a very heavy price from Hezbollah for such attacks. The IDF will act to thwart any threat to our forces and our territory.

"As I have stated unequivocally, including yesterday. Israel will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon for as long as necessary in order to protect the communities of northern Israel."

Israel Hayom, owned by the Adelson family, published a blistering critique of President Trump, accusing him of "betraying Israelis," "harming American and Western interests," and "bringing about America's humiliation."

The article's central argument was that Trump "could have been the greatest president of all" but instead "failed."

Israeli Opposition Leader Yair Lapid --"If we don't quickly replace this government, Israel's foreign relations will be wiped out."


Iran has requested assurances that hostilities in Lebanon will end, in line with the existing agreement, before resuming talks with the US in Switzerland.

J.D. Vance cancelled his trip to Switzerland due to ongoing hostilities.
