Netanyahu visits Air Force following strikes from Lebanon
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the operational headquarters of the Air Force Thursday following strikes from Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.
"In the midst of the difficult campaign against Lebanon, we established a principle -- whoever hurts us will bleed on his head," Netanyahu told the soldiers. "We put it into practice. We know the road is still long, but we are determined to restore security to the north and return the residents safely to their homes."

Hezbollah militants said they fired more than 200 rockets toward Israel earlier Thursday. Fires broke out in several areas of northern Israel due to UAVs and shrapnel from interceptions of the projectiles falling in the area, the Israel Defense Forces said. No one was seriously injured.
