Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday the Lebanese government must fulfill its commitment to disarm Hezbollah and remove it from southern Lebanon, as Israel continued to intermittently attack the group in the south of the country.

“Hezbollah is playing with fire, and the president of Lebanon is dragging his feet,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.

“The Lebanese government’s commitment to disarm Hezbollah and remove it from southern Lebanon must be implemented. Maximum enforcement will continue and even intensify -- we will not allow any threat to the residents of the north.”
