'If until now we have distinguished between the state of Lebanon and Hezbollah, and between Beirut as a whole and Dahiyeh, which we have struck very hard, this will no longer be,' says Israeli defense minister.

Although the IDF warned Lebanese civilians to delay returning until the military had completed its actions, many returned anyway.

'It’s not for no reason that we insisted on 60 days.'

US Official: 'If you continue to negotiate for months and months and try to get a perfect deal ... you risk having no hostages left to save.'
