Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Thursday that Israel will receive "just punishment" for the communications device explosions that killed 37 people and wounded nearly 3,000 over two days.

Israel will face "tough retribution and just punishment, where it expects it and where it does not," Nasrallah said in his first speech since the blasts, adding that he would not give further details of the place, timing or nature of Hezbollah's response.
