The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has warned that if Israel’s attacks on Lebanon continue and the Lebanese state does not act to stop them, the group will eventually resort to other alternatives.

Israel bombarded Hezbollah targets in south Lebanon on Friday after intercepting a rocket fired from its northern neighbour, the Israeli military said, although the Iranian-backed militant group denied involvement in the incident.

Israel said on Friday it will enforce a ceasefire in Lebanon everywhere in the country, after rocket fire prompted it to bomb Beirut for the first time during the fragile four-month-old truce with Hezbollah.
