IF ISRAEL’S ceasefire with Hezbollah collapses, the country’s military will widen its strikes and target the Lebanese state itself, Defence Minister Israel Katz warned today.

He was speaking after Hezbollah and other observers alleged that Israel had been responsible for multiple violations of the 60-day truce.

The day before, Tel Aviv’s military carried out a wave of air strikes that killed nearly a dozen people after Hezbollah had fired a volley of projectiles as a warning to Israel to stop violating the ceasefire.
