Israeli Defense Minister warns Hezbollah to retreat north of Litani River or face "crushing" force.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz visited an outpost in southern Lebanon, warning Hezbollah that Israel will "crush" the group if it does not retreat north of the Litani River as per the recent ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire, in effect since November 27, requires Hezbollah to pull back and prohibits it from operating in southern Lebanon. Israeli forces will also withdraw in stages. Despite the truce, sporadic incidents continue, with both sides accusing each other of violations.
