Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday vowed his country's enemies will "pay a price" following a barrage of rockets from Lebanon that was blamed on Palestinian groups.

"We will strike our enemies and they will pay the price for any act of aggression," Netanyahu said during a cabinet meeting, according to a short video statement released by his office.

A salvo of 34 rockets were fired on the Jewish holiday of Passover, it was the largest escalation along the frontier since Israel and Hezbollah fought a 34-day war in 2006.
