Defense minister instructs IDF to respond to gunfire from Lebanon that hit car

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

Defense Minister Israel Katz says he has instructed the IDF to respond to today’s gunfire from Lebanon that damaged a car in the border community of Avivim.

“The claim that it was an errant bullet from the funeral of a Hezbollah operative held in a nearby village is completely unacceptable,” Katz says.

He adds that Israel will “not allow a reality of shooting on the residents of the north for any reason, and we will respond to any violation of the ceasefire.”
