In response to rocket fire from southern Lebanon, PM says Israel working to protect citizens; United States condemns rocket fire, but urges “restraint” while right-wing MKs call on government to retaliate.



“We will strike anyone who harms us or tries to harm us,” Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Thursday afternoon in response to militant fire from Lebanon into Israeli territory earlier in the day.

“Israel working on all fronts to protect citizens, using both defensive and offensive preventive measures to do so,” Netanyahu stated.

The United States is calling for “restraint” from both Israel and Lebanon after three rockets, fired from Lebanese territory, hit northern Israeli towns.

“We strongly condemn the firing of rockets from Lebanon toward Israel,” State Department deputy spokeswoman Dina Badawy told The Jerusalem Post. ”This was a provocative act that undermines the stability of Lebanon and the security of Israel.”

Badawy called the rocket fire a violation of the Blue Line, as prescribed by UNSCR 1701.

The State Department could not immediately confirm the source of the rocket fire, or details of the incident, Badawy said.

“We again strongly underscore the need for Lebanon to exercise full sovereignty over its territory,” she said.

A fourth rocket was intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome short-range missile defense system, which has been funded generously by the US.

No group has yet to claim responsibility for the incident, and no casualties were reported.

MK Motti Yogev (Bayit Yehudi), meanwhile called for the government to retaliate to rocket fire in the north Thursday.

According to Yogev, the government cannot leave the attack without a response, “because this is the reality that the other side understands.” “The response must be very strong so that the other side has no desire to continue the escalation,” Yogev added.

The Bayit Yehudi MK, a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, pointed out that Hezbollah stockpiled weapons in the seven years since the Second Lebbanon War and has tens of thousands of missiles, which, he said, could lead to a confrontation to ensure the safety of residents of the north.

“Syria acted quickly and determinedly through their allies, Hezbollah, to distract international pressure from the gas attacks and massacres on children in Damascus,” MK Nachman Shai (Labor) stated. “Israel must act carefully and responsibly.”
