The bombardment rocked several villages close to the Israeli border.
Israel and Hezbollah are exchanging hundreds of cross-border strikes in the wake of the shocking explosions of wireless devices across Lebanon.
"Shortly, the IDF will engage in extensive, precise strikes, against terror targets which have been embedded widely throughout Lebanon," Hagari said early Monday. Thousands of Lebanese cell phone users received a text message from the IDF on Monday, warning: "If you are in a building where Hezbollah weapons are located, stay away from the village until further notice." Similar messages were issued over Lebanese radio.
"We will take whatever action is necessary to restore security and to bring our people safe back to their homes," Netanyahu said on Sunday. Two consecutive days of explosions -- which killed at least 37 people and wounded 2,931, according to Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad -- were followed by the killing of Hezbollah operations chief Ibrahim Aqil and 14 other members in a Beirut airstrike.
