Israel’s newly appointed Defence Minister Israel Katz says “there will be no ceasefire and there will be no break in the strikes against Hezbollah” in Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.

However, Katz told a forum of top military generals that “if the possibility arises and a good proposal is put forward that would allow us to claim victory … we will certainly consider it very seriously”.

Israel forces have killed at least 3,243 people and wounded 14,134 since the hostilities between Hezbollah and the Israeli army started on October 8, 2023.
