Report: Israel hasn't decided to launch major strike on Hezbollah
Israeli army officials have told Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the Israeli government “has not decided yet whether to launch an extensive military strike on Hezbollah in Lebanon.”
Israel will however “continue to carry out targeted killings and strikes on the group's senior commanders and central compounds,” the officials added.
The statement comes after Israel assassinated senior Hezbollah military commander Taleb Abdallah, prompting the group to retaliate by firing around 200 rockets at key bases in north Israel -- the biggest number of projectiles fired in a single day since the start of the conflict.
