On June 24 in Tel Aviv, Israeli defense minister Katz said the IDF will not withdraw from the "security zone" in southern Lebanon and will not change that position even if requested by the United States.

Katz added: "When civilians lived in the security zone in the past there were roadside bombings and attacks on soldiers, so we will not allow that to happen again."
