Israel reserves the right to respond to "planned, imminent or ongoing attacks," the Israeli President further said.
The warning by Netanyahu comes after Israeli army claimed that Hezbollah launched 2 explosive-laden drones at IDF troops in south Lebanon overnight. The drones hit open areas, causing no injuries.
