Livni: Israel will deal with Hezbollah 'harshly'

Tzipi Livni, co-chair of the Zionist Camp coalition, has stated that Israel will respond "harshly" to an attack on the Israel-Lebanon border earlier which killed 2 Israeli soldiers.

"At this time it should be clear to all: Whether this [attack] is Iran acting through Hezbollah, or whether it is the Syrians, an attack on soldiers or civilians will be answered harshly and without compromise by the IDF," said Livni, during a tour of the northern border.

"Hezbollah is part of the extreme Islamist axis in the Middle East and it must be dealt with by force, and the IDF and its soldiers know how to do this precisely and responsibly."
