Israel’s security cabinet has authorised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister to decide when and how to retaliate for a deadly rocket attack Israel and the US say was carried out by the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah.
Ministers met in an emergency session following the strike on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday evening, which killed 12 children and teenagers from the Druze community.
Hezbollah has denied responsibility.
It was the deadliest cross-border incident in months of exchanges of fire between the two sides.
