Israeli general says to intensify strikes on Lebanon

JERUSALEM: A senior Israeli general said on Monday the military would intensify its attacks on Lebanon, after launching strikes in response to rocket fire claimed by Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
“Hezbollah chose the Iranian regime over the State of Lebanon and initiated an attack on our civilians... they will pay a heavy price,” said Rafi Milo, head of the Israeli military’s Northern Command.
“The strikes continue, their intensity will increase,” he was quoted as saying in a military statement.
