Israel demands effective UN enforcement of an eventual ceasefire deal with Lebanon and will show “zero tolerance” toward any infraction, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday.

"Any house in southern Lebanon that is rebuilt and established as a terrorist base will be destroyed, every armament and terrorist regrouping will be struck, every attempt to smuggle weapons will be thwarted and any threat to our forces or to Israeli citizens will be destroyed immediately," Katz told the UN’s special coordinator for Lebanon Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert.

He also demanded effective enforcement and oversight from UNIFIL, stressing that the peacekeeping force must prevent arms smuggling and domestic arms production by Hezbollah.

“If you don’t do it, we will, and with great force," Katz told the UN official.
