Israel fights against the Hezbollah group in Lebanon. Israel's new Defense Minister is Israel Katz. He has clear goals. He wants to control areas in South Lebanon with the army. These areas reach the Litani River. Israel does not want Hezbollah fighters there anymore. Hezbollah should also not have weapons.

Katz sets rules for ending the fighting. Hezbollah must not bring more weapons into Lebanon. Only then can peace come. Israel wants to keep the right to attack. This is true if Hezbollah breaks agreements. The Israeli army already attacks places near Beirut.

Hezbollah shoots rockets at Israel. Many people in Israel must go to safe rooms. The USA tries to help make peace. One plan suggests the Lebanese army protects the border. Hezbollah fighters should move back behind the Litani River. Israel has now made its demands stronger.
