Israel’s military said it was carrying out simultaneous strikes in Iran and Lebanon, warning Hezbollah it would “pay a heavy price” for opening fire on Israel, AFP reports.

“Even at this moment, hundreds of Air Force aircraft are striking simultaneously in Lebanon and Iran,” military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said during a televised briefing.

“Hezbollah opened fire last night. It knew exactly what it was doing. We had warned it - and it will pay a heavy price” he added.
