'Israeli' Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a severe warning to both Iran and Hezbollah, codifying a doctrine of total operational symmetry while promising a crushing military response to any further regional escalation.
Following high-stakes security assessments, Katz made it clear that 'Israel' will completely disregard external diplomatic pressures and warnings issued by Tehran regarding the current rules of engagement.
'Dahieh doctrine' codified
In a series of explicit declarations, the Defense Minister tied the fate of Lebanon's capital directly to the security of 'Israeli' border communities. "Any attack on the northern towns will be met with an attack on the Dahieh," Katz warned, establishing a policy of immediate, mirrored retaliation.
Expanding on this tactical equivalence, he added that "the same rule applies to the Dahieh neighborhood in Beirut as applies to the northern towns."
The mandate ensures that the 'Israeli' military will continue their wide-scale aerial and ground operations against Hezbollah infrastructure throughout Lebanon without geographic restriction.
Defying Tehran
Katz also directly addressed the Iranian leadership, which has recently slammed the regional status quo and threatened to alter its military posture.
"We categorically reject Iran's threats," Katz stated. "Any Iranian attempt to link Lebanon to Iran and attack 'Israel' will be met with severe force, just as happened yesterday."
The defense minister's remarks signal that 'Israel' views recent Iranian maneuvers as a direct violation of regional understandings and is fully prepared to launch deep, symmetric strikes against both proxy assets in Beirut and primary targets inside Iran if cross-border hostilities persist.
