The members of Israel’s security cabinet are authorized by the prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Minister of Defense by Yoav Gallant to decide on the manner and timing of the counterattack against the extremist organization Hezbollah. This was announced by Netanyahu’s office after the security cabinet meeting.
The Israeli army has threatened countermeasures after a rocket attack on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday killed 12 children and teenagers. Israel blames the attack on Hezbollah, which operates on the Lebanese side, which has denied it.
