BEIRUT – Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah threatened to attack Tel Aviv if Israel were to bomb Beirut’s southern suburbs, a bastion of the powerful Shi’ite military and political group.
Hizbullah and Israel have not exchanged fire since the end of the 2006 war. Tensions have risen recently after a weapons stockpile exploded in south Lebanon. Israel and the UN said it was most likely a Hizbullah cache. – (Reuters)
