Netanyahu vows response to Hezbollah rocket fire but drops Beirut strike pledge

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel 'will not allow Hezbollah rocket fire on its territory or communities and will act accordingly,' in a statement at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting following two rockets launched toward the north this morning. Desk reviewers note a shift in his language from last week's explicit commitment to strike Beirut/Dahieh to the more vague 'act accordingly.'
