Israel threatens to attack Lebanon over nuclear comments

World Bulletin / News Desk

Israel’s minister of intelligence, Yisrael Katz,  has threatened to “hit all of Lebanon”  if Hezbollah acts on its threats to bomb the Zionist state. “If Nasrallah dares to fire at the Israel homefront or at its national infrastructure, all of Lebanon will be hit,” warned Yisrael Katz.

The minister’s comments were made as a response to comments by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah who called on Israel to dismantle the Dimona nuclear reactor and threatened to attack it.

“Hezbollah is serving Iranian interest and is willing to sacrifice Lebanon in order to serve these interests,” added Katz. He called for “debilitating sanctions” on Hezbollah that would paralyse its activities, as well as pressure on Iran to stop funding and supporting the organisation.
