"Israel's Gallant Vows to Ensure Security for Residents Amid Escalating Conflict with Hezbollah"

Israeli Defense Minister Gallant rejects IDF proposal for temporary cease-fire with Hezbollah, vowing to continue attacks until residents in the north can safely return home. He emphasizes that quiet will be met with quiet, but aggression will be met with overwhelming force. Gallant also expresses preference for a diplomatic solution and thanks France for its commitment to changing the security situation in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hezbollah leader Nasrallah links the Lebanese front to the Gaza war, stating that there can be no solution in Lebanon unless there is one in Gaza, while also being prepared to respond to any Israeli violation, even at the cost of causing a major war.
