Katz rejects al-Julani involvement against Hezbollah

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz reiterated that Israel is actively fighting Hezbollah in Syria and does not require assistance from Syrian leader Ahmad al-Shara (Abu Mohammad al-Julani), whom he called a 'terrorist in a suit.' Katz criticized al-Julani's methods against Alawites and Druze, and warned him to stay in Syria and not interfere with Israeli operations in Lebanon. Katz emphasized that Israel knows Syria well and that al-Julani must avoid provoking Israeli intervention.
