Israel's security cabinet authorised a military response to the weekend rocket attack from Lebanon.
BEIRUT – Lebanon braced on Monday for a possible large-scale counterstrike after Israel's security cabinet authorised a military response to the weekend rocket attack from Lebanon that killed 12, all teenagers and children. Diplomats engaged in extensive last-minute diplomatic efforts to avert a full blown war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel and the United States have blamed the strike on Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah movement, which has traded near-daily fire with Israeli forces since war in Gaza began between Hamas militants and Israel in early October. The United States, France and others were trying to contain the escalation, Habib added, while Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said "talks are ongoing with international, European and Arab sides to protect Lebanon and ward off dangers".
Hezbollah has denied responsibility for the Majdal Shams rocket attack, though the group claimed multiple strikes on Israeli military positions that day. The group later claimed additional strikes against military positions in Israel's north. Official Lebanese media said a Syrian national died from wounds after an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon.
