Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Thursday warned that Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem would pay an “extraordinarily heavy price” for escalating attacks during the ongoing Jewish holidays.

“I have a clear message for Naim Qassem… you and your associates will pay an extraordinarily heavy price for the intensified rocket fire directed at Israeli citizens as they gathered to celebrate Passover Seder,” Katz said in a video statement.

Israeli media reports said that Hezbollah has fired more than 100 rockets toward Israel since the start of the Jewish holidays. (AFP)
