Despite ceasefire, IAF intercepts UAV over northern Israeli towns
The IDF intercepted a suspicious UAV in Israel’s North on Friday morning, following sirens in Kfar Yuval, Kfar Szold and Ma’ayan Baruch. The details are being investigated.
This comes despite the ceasefire agreement made between Israel and Hezbollah at the end of November.
Hezbollah has already violated the ceasefire terms by launching rockets towards Mount Dov earlier this month. In return, the IDF begun striking terror targets in Lebanon.
A few days after the agreement, several Hezbollah suspects, some in vehicles, arrived in towns and villages in southern Lebanon. The IDF opened fire on them in response.
The IDF also said that it had deployed in southern Lebanon and was enforcing all violations of the ceasefire agreement.
Defense Minister Katz
In a recent visit to the northern border, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that if the ceasefire fails, the IDF will be more ready to strike non-Hezbollah Lebanese targets.
“If the ceasefire collapses – there will not be any more exemption to the state of Lebanon,” said Katz.He noted that Israel would never return to the days when it would ignore “minor” rocket fire or a small tent that Hezbollah erected before the war illegally a small number of meters into Israeli territory, adding, “If until now we distinguished between Lebanon and Hezbollah – this will not continue.”
