Israel's defence minister warned Sunday that the truce that ended more than a year of fighting with Lebanon's Hezbollah is at risk. Israel Katz said the agreement requires Hezbollah to withdraw to the north of the Litani River and Lebanese troops to eliminate any militant infrastructure in the buffer zone — “something that hasn’t happened yet.

"If Hezbollah does not withdraw beyond the Litani River, there will be no agreement — and Israel will act on its own to ensure the safe return of the northern residents to their homes," he noted.
