Report: Israel decides any rocket on north will be met with automatic attack on Dahieh
Israel's security cabinet has decided that any Hezbollah rocket on Israel will be met with an attack on Beirut's southern suburbs without the need for prior political approval, Israel's Channel 14 reported on Tuesday.
An Israeli official meanwhile told Yedioth Ahronoth that the army has been ordered to maintain the "equation" Israel has come up with in the face of Hezbollah -- any attack on north Israel will be met with an attack on Dahieh.
Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday in response to Israel's recent bombing of Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold.
Iran warned it would resume attacks on Israel if the latter kept striking Lebanon.
Iran and Israel halted the fresh hostilities on Monday after three exchanges of strikes.
