Sources disagree on:
- Wording differs between reports: The Times of Israel quotes Katz as saying the IDF will 'capture' more territory if Hezbollah 'joins Iran in an attack on Israel', while Arab News reports the threat to 'seize' territory if Hezbollah 'joins the Iran war', which is a broader condition. Neither outlet reports a factual dispute about what, where or who.
