Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that "there will be no ceasefire and no pause in Lebanon" until his country's war objectives are met.

Katz added on X that Israel's attacks "must continue to weaken Hezbollah’s capabilities and achieve the fruits of victory".

"We will continue to strike Hezbollah with full force until the war’s objectives are achieved," he said.

"Israel will not agree to any arrangement that does not guarantee its right to enforce and prevent terrorism independently, ensuring the war’s goals in Lebanon are met, including disarming Hezbollah, pushing them beyond the Litani River, and allowing northern residents to return to their homes safely."
