"The resistance will respond double to any aggression that targets civilians," Ali Fayyad said at the funeral of the four Lebanese killed in the south on Sunday.
Lebanese authorities said an Israeli strike hit the car the family was travelling in on Sunday.
Israel said on Monday it struck Hezbollah targets in response to a large barrage of rockets fired at northern Israeli cities.
The violence along the Lebanese border has killed more than 60 Hezbollah fighters and 10 civilians, Lebanese security officials say.
