Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vows that Israel will respond to the anti-tank guided missile fire from Lebanon at northern Israel earlier today.

“Against any violation of our sovereignty and challenge to our presence in our country, we will respond at the place and time of our choosing, in overt and covert ways, that will exact a clear price from those responsible,” says Gallant at a memorial event for fallen soldiers of South Lebanon Army, a Christian militia supported by Israel between the mid-1980s and 2000.
