War message from Israeli Foreign Minister Katz

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz sent a letter to his counterparts following the rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.

Stating that Israel does not want a war with Hezbollah, Katz said, "Israel is not interested in an all-out war, but the only way to prevent it is the immediate implementation of UN Resolution 1701."

Katz stated, "The world must support Israel right now and demand that Hezbollah immediately end its attacks, withdraw north of the Litani River, and disarm in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Tens of thousands of Israelis who were forced to leave their homes in northern Israel must be able to return to their homes safely."

ISRAEL HAD ATTACKED BEIRUT

Israel carried out an airstrike on Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, yesterday. In the attack, which reportedly targeted Fuad Shukr, one of the top advisors to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, 4 people lost their lives and 83 people were injured.

In a statement made by Hezbollah sources, it was claimed that Fuad Shukr was under the rubble, but it had not yet been clarified whether Shukr had lost his life.
