MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Israeli authorities have opened bomb shelters in the central part of the country, fearing a response from Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah to Israel's airstrike on southern Beirut, the Maariv news portal reported.
The authorities of the city of Rishon LeTsiyon have opened public bomb shelters, the report noted on Tuesday.
The Israeli army said last Saturday that 12 people had been killed in a rocket strike on the Golan Heights, which it blamed on Hezbollah. The Lebanese movement denied the claim. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would not leave the attack on the Golan Heights unanswered and Hezbollah would pay a price "it has never paid before."
