Following Hezbollah's firing of two rockets on Mount Dov a short time ago today, calls are increasing for Israel to retaliate, and strongly.

State Camp leader MK Benny Gantz and Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman have both called for Israel to take action and not wait for matters to get worse.

Senior officers speaking to Army Radio said that the IDF is ready to restart fighting in Lebanon in order to ensure that the ceasefire is enforced and that the post-2006 status quo does not return, and the IDF reportedly has a "target bank" ready to go.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, who would have to make the ultimate decision, have not yet responded to the incident.
