Israel Confirms Continued Military Presence in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza Despite US-Iran Deal
Following the announcement of an interim peace deal between the US and Iran, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will maintain its military presence indefinitely in territories seized in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. Katz warned that if Iran attacks Israel over Israeli strikes in Lebanon, Israel will retaliate with significant force. The US-Iran agreement reportedly includes a ceasefire involving Lebanon and Hezbollah, but Israel emphasizes its security concerns and ongoing operations in the region.
