Minister Katz said during the tour: "We dealt Hezbollah severe blows and eliminated Nasrallah - and therefore, right now, we must continue to strike it with all our might, in order to realize the fruits of victory. We are paying heavy and painful prices, and I send my condolences to the families of the fallen and wish a speedy recovery to all the wounded. "We have expanded the ground maneuver in southern Lebanon and we are operating against Hezbollah targets in the Hadahiya district of Beirut and wherever necessary. While we are here - terrorist infrastructures are collapsing in Beirut." He emphasized that Israel will not give up any of the war's targets. "We will not make any ceasefires, we will not take our foot off the pedal, and we will not allow any arrangement that does not include achieving the goals of the war, which is the disarmament of Hezbollah, its withdrawal across the Litani River, and the creation of conditions for the return of the residents of the north to their homes in safety. "We will not agree to any arrangement that does not ensure the disarmament of Hezbollah and its withdrawal across the Litani River - and especially Israel's right to enforce itself and act against any terrorist activity and organization." "The whole world is watching and admiring the achievements - it also adds to the strength of the State of Israel, and we need to use this to achieve the goals in the fastest and best way." [Gallery]
