Jerusalem: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was braced for a response after Hezbollah accused Israel of being behind a wave of exploding pagers that killed at least nine and injured thousands.
Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, the IDF’s Chief of Staff, on Tuesday, insisted Israel remains ready “for attack and defence in all arenas” without mentioning the pager attacks which occurred across Lebanon and in parts of Syria.
“We will update immediately on any change to (Home Front Command guidelines),” the IDF added.
Lebanon and Hezbollah have both accused Tel Aviv of being behind the attack, with the Lebanese Prime Minister labelling it as “criminal Israeli aggression” and a “serious violation of Lebanese sovereignty”.
