Smotrich calls for Dahiya doctrine response after morning rocket fire at northern Israel

Following rocket fire toward northern Israel this morning, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich reportedly called for a 'Dahiya' response — a reference to the Israeli military doctrine of disproportionate force against enemy strongholds, named after the 2006 Lebanon War bombing of the Dahiya neighborhood in Beirut. The call was made outside the security cabinet, and it remains unclear whether it reflects official policy.
