Israeli ministers vow 'heavy price' and indefinite stay in Lebanon after soldier deaths

Israeli ministers vow to keep troops in southern Lebanon indefinitely following the deaths of four soldiers, including a battalion commander, and promise a 'heavy price' for Hezbollah attacks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz stated the military will remain in a 'security zone' until necessary for northern community protection, while far-right minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for aggressive retaliation.
