Israel ready for war against Lebanon

Israel is close to making a decision about the Lebanon-based Hezbollah group and will destroy it if a war breaks out, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz warned.

"We are very close to the moment of decision to change the rules against Hezbollah and Lebanon," Katz said.

According to him, in an all-out war, Hezbollah will be destroyed and Lebanon will be severely hit.

Earlier, the IDF said the Northern Command approved plans for offensive operations in Lebanon and decided to increase the combat readiness of troops.
