Israel wants to retaliate against Hezbollah over its alleged rocket attack on Majdal Shams in Golan Heights but does not want to push the entire Middle East into a regional armed conflict, The Times of Israel reported on Monday, citing several sources familiar with the matter.
According to the sources, Israel does not exclude an option of engaging in armed clashes with Hezbollah but does not see a regional war as something "in our interest."
Previously, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hezbollah will pay a "heavy price" for its attack.
