'Israeli' general says to intensify strikes on Lebanon

A senior 'Israeli' general said on Monday the military would intensify its attacks on Lebanon, after launching strikes in response to rocket fire claimed by Hezbollah.

"Hezbollah chose the Iranian regime over the State of Lebanon and initiated an attack on our civilians... they will pay a heavy price," said Rafi Milo, head of the 'Israeli' military's Northern Command.

"The strikes continue, their intensity will increase," he was quoted as saying in a military statement.
