Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday that Israeli forces will remain indefinitely in southern Lebanon, parts of Syria and areas of the Ga-za Strip. Speaking at a military graduation ceremony, Netanyahu said Israel would continue to control what it calls a “security zone” in southern Lebanon and had no intention of withdrawing. Katz added that Israeli troops would remain in Lebanon, Syria and Ga-za “without any time limit,” despite international pressure, and warned that any Iranian retaliation linked to Lebanon would be met with a forceful military response. The statements come as Israeli forces continue operations across multiple fronts. In southern Lebanon, Lebanese authorities reported fresh airstrikes, artillery attacks and demolition of homes in several towns, while the Israeli military said four soldiers, including two officers, were injured during clashes with a Hezb-ollah fighter. In Syria, Israeli forces remain deployed in the Mount Hermon area and the former UN buffer zone seized after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government in December 2024, with Syrian officials reporting continued airstrikes and ground operations. In Ga-za, Israeli officials continue discussing plans to expand military control over the enclave. Israeli media reported that senior security officials recently examined proposals related to the “voluntary emigration” of Pales-tinians from Ga-za, while war crimes continue despite previous ceasefire efforts. The announcements come amid ongoing diplomatic negotiations involving Lebanon and regional security, with Israeli officials reaffirming that military deployments will continue regardless of parallel diplomatic initiatives.
