Hezbollah has pounded northern Israel with 140 rockets, a day after the militant group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed to retaliate against the country for a mass bombing attack.

Israel’s military said the rockets came in three waves on Friday afternoon targeting sites along the ravaged border with Lebanon.
