Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of being behind an attack by Hezbollah on Israeli troops in the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms region.
"It is Iran that stands behind the attack on us yesterday from Lebanon," Tass cited Netanyahu as saying.
"This is the same Iran that is trying to reach a deal now with world powers that will leave it with the capability of developing nuclear weapons – a deal which we vehemently oppose," he said.
"We will continue to defend ourselves against every threat, both near and far," Netanyahu concluded.
