Hezbollah vows to attack 'new sites' in Israel in response to commander's killing

Senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine said on Thursday that the group will attack new locations within Israel in response to the assassination of top commander Mohammad Nehmeh Nasser on Wednesday.

"The series of responses continues in succession, and this series will continue to target new sites that the enemy did not imagine would be hit," Safieddine said, speaking at Nasser's memorial.

Hezbollah has already fired over 200 rockets and over 20 drones into Israel in response to the killing.
