Israeli Foreign Minister: Dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure in the south will end our military presence, and we have no intention of expanding into Lebanese territory.

The Israeli foreign minister said his country “will not allow Hezbollah to carry out its plans,” stressing that the ongoing military operations in Lebanon “are defensive in nature.”

He added that Israel “has no ambitions to expand into Lebanese territory,” noting that if Hezbollah’s infrastructure in southern Lebanon is dismantled, “there will be no need for any military presence to remain there.”
