He also appeared to suggest Hezbollah's retaliation for Shukr's killing was over, saying 'if the result is satisfactory' then its response 'has been accomplished'. Another military spokesman, Nadav Shoshani, said Hezbollah's strikes were 'part of a larger attack that was planned and we were able to thwart a big part of it this morning'.
Yemen's Houthi rebels, one of several Iran-backed groups that have been drawn into the Gaza war's periphery, hailed the Hezbollah attack and declared that their own retaliation was 'definitely coming'.

But the Iranian diplomat added that his nation's retaliation for the killing of the Hamas chief in Tehran will be 'definite and calculated'.
