After a Hezbollah mortar attack on an IDF position in the Mount Dov area, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows a firm response.
“Hezbollah’s firing at Mount Dov constitutes a serious violation of the ceasefire, and Israel will respond forcefully,” he says in a statement.
“We are determined to continue enforcing the ceasefire, and to respond to any violation by Hezbollah — a minor one will be treated like a major one.”
Minutes before, Lebanese media reported a series of IDF airstrikes in southern Lebanon.
