Israel fires at Lebanon as Katz threatens to strike Beirut

Several attacks were reported in parts of southern Lebanon just after Israel had reported it intercepted three rockets fired towards Metula on Saturday. Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz appeared to threaten to strike Beirut. “The fate of Metula is the same as Beirut,” Israeli media reported him as saying. “The Lebanese government bears responsibility for any fire from its territory. I have instructed the IDF to respond accordingly,” he said.
