Israel defence minister says 'there will be no ceasefire' in Lebanon

Israel's newly appointed Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Monday that "there will be no ceasefire and there will be no break in the strikes against Hezbollah" militants in Lebanon.

But, Katz told a forum of top military generals that "if the possibility arises and a good proposal is put forward that would allow us to claim victory... we will certainly consider it very seriously".
