JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel threatened on Tuesday to “return Lebanon to the stone age” in any war against Hezbollah, following weeks of friction with the armed Iranian-backed group along the countries’ border.
“Do not make a mistake. We do not want a war. But we are prepared to protect our civilians, our soldiers and our sovereignty,” Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said in a statement, his remarks intended for Hezbollah.
