IDF warplanes strike Lebanese targets in response to rockets

Israeli warplanes attacked southern Lebanon late Wednesday night in retaliation for rockets fired into northern Israel, according to the military.

The airstrikes hit areas from which the rockets were fired, according to a statement by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), as well as infrastructure used for terrorism.

Another site used in the past to launch terrorist attacks was also hit, the IDF said.

The statement said retaliations could intensify if the State of Israel and its citizens continue to be threatened.

Israel holds the government of Lebanon responsible for what happens in its territory.

Several rockets from southern Lebanon entered Israeli territory near Kiryat Shmona Wednesday, causing at least four injuries and sparking a fire that Israeli firefighters are trying to get under control.
