The Israeli intelligence has gathered "rock solid evidence" that Hezbollah and the Iranian regime were behind last week's bombing of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, according to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
"We know with absolute certainty, without a shred of doubt, that this was a Hezbollah operation," Netanyahu said on Fox News on Sunday, as cited by The Hill.
"You want these people to have atomic bombs? I think this is a reminder, this wave of terrorism attacks, that the world's most dangerous regime must not be allowed to have the world's most dangerous weapons."
In a separate interview, Netanyahu told CBS that Israel would do "whatever is necessary" to protect its citizens, and warned "there has to be a price extracted" from terrorist networks and their state sponsors.
Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Foreign Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman have all attributed Wednesday's attack to Hezbollah or a similar organization, stressing that Iran is at the root.
