Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Lebanon:

Look at what is happening in Lebanon.

Today, more than 60 villages in southern Lebanon, beginning with those adjacent to the border, and beyond that, throughout the entire security zone up to the Yellow Line, an area of 700 square kilometers, are destroyed.

All the villages have been wiped out. Twenty-three thousand houses, all destroyed, demolished.

I am not even talking about what is underground, about the tunnels. Everything has been destroyed.

There are no residents there. Two hundred thousand residents are outside.

This is the Gaza model. And this is the model we are implementing.
