Hezbollah warns Israel will 'pay price' for its actions
World
Hezbollah said Thursday that Israel will suffer consequences for the deaths of 10 people, including five children, in southern Lebanon. The day was the bloodiest for Lebanese civilians in four months of fighting along the Lebanese-Israeli border.
Seven people, including three children, were killed in an Israeli strike on Wednesday evening in the town of Nabatiyeh, according to sources in Lebanon. This followed an earlier attack that killed a woman and her two children in the village of al-Sawana on the border.
Hezbollah politician Hassan Fadlallah said, "The enemy will pay the price for these crimes. The resistance will continue to practise its legitimate right to defend its people." Several Hezbollah fighters were also killed in separate strikes in Nabatiyeh, according to the group and security sources.
An Israeli army spokesman said he was awaiting further information on the incident, but a further announcement would be provided as details emerge.
The conflict between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel has unfolded in parallel with events in Gaza, raising concerns about the possibility of an all-out confrontation between the two heavily armed adversaries. Both sides say they do not seek a general war, and the conflict is largely confined to areas near the border.
