Two MKs urged the government on Friday to respond by attacking Syria and the Lebanese government.
"I would aim the sights at the Lebanese government, who need finally to take responsibility (for southern Lebanon), " lawmaker Yuval Steinitz told Israel Radio. Steinitz heads the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
Efraim Sneh of the opposition Labor Party warned of the danger that Hezbollah rockets pose to Israeli population centers and said Syria must be held accountable. "Syria, and not Lebanon, is the one who gives Hezbollah permission to carry out these actions," he told the radio.
Syria "needs to be reminded of the results of these actions- similar to how we've reminded them in the past," Sneh added. Last October, Israeli jets struck a suspected base of Islamic Jihad in Syria after the group carried out a suicide bombing in Israel
