Katz says Qassem 'playing with fire' that will 'burn Lebanon'
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Monday that Hezbollah's defiance would bring catastrophic consequences for Lebanon, after the group's leader rejected proposed direct talks between Israel and Lebanon.
"Naim Qassem is playing with fire, and the fire will burn Hezbollah and all of Lebanon... If the Lebanese government continues to take cover under the wing of the Hezbollah terrorist organisation -- fire will break out and engulf the cedars of Lebanon," Katz told U.N. envoy to Lebanon Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, according to a statement issued by his office.

Hezbollah said it has launched a suicide drone at an Israeli military bulldozer that was destroying homes in Bint Jbeil.
Israel said thank you for the assist. Destroying homes is faster with bulldozer and drone than with bulldozer alone.
