🇱🇧🇮🇱⚡️- "Our equation is that if there are drones, we bomb Dahiya. The Americans are preventing this, and they are our partners. If our communities are fired upon, then based on the pattern we’ve established in the past, we’re supposed to evacuate the residents of Dahiya, attack, and flatten it.

No one is stopping us." - Israel Katz, Israeli Defence Minister.
