Israel vows to respond forcefully to Hezbollah attacks

Israel vowed to respond forcefully to all Hezbollah attacks after the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group fired a barrage of rockets across the border for the second successive day on Thursday.

"Israel will respond with force to all aggressions by Hezbollah," government spokesman David Mencer said during a press briefing, adding that "whether through diplomatic efforts or otherwise, Israel will restore security on our northern border."
