The first condition for the agreement's implementation is the complete withdrawal of the Hezbollah terror organisation beyond the Litani River, Mr Katz said on a trip to the IDF's northern command. He also accused the Lebanese army of failing to play its role of destroying Hezbollah's weapons stores and infrastructure.
