(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Israel will be "forced to act" if Hizbullah does not pull back from southern Lebanon as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement, Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Sunday. "Israel is interested in the implementation of the agreement in Lebanon and will continue to enforce it fully and without compromise to ensure the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes," Katz said. "The first condition for the implementation of the agreement is the complete withdrawal of the Hizbullah terror organization beyond the Litani River, the dismantling of all weapons, and the [removal] of the terror infrastructure in the area by the Lebanese army, something that hasn't happened yet. If this condition is not met, there will be no agreement, and Israel will be forced to act independently."
