Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that the military are ready for “extremely strong action” to attacks across the Israel-Lebanon border by Hezbollah.
His comments – made during a visit to northern Israel – come as attacks by the Iran-backed Hezbollah have intensified in recent days, with a wave of attacks setting off massive forest fires that have been fanned by high winds. Many Israeli towns near the border have been evacuated in recent months, with hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah at their worst since a 2006 war.
