Israeli Minister Threatens to Return Lebanon to 'Stone Age'
Israeli Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz on Wednesday issued a fresh warning to Lebanon and Hizbullah.
Israel and Hezbollah fought a war in 2006 and often trade warnings.
In an interview with Elaph, a news website run by a Saudi businessman, Katz said if Hizbullah initiates a war against Israel, "this time all of Lebanon will be a target."
"What happened in 2006 would be a picnic compared to what could happen... I say Lebanon will return to the stone age," he threatened.
Israel fought a devastating war against Hizbullah in Lebanon in 2006 that killed more than 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and 120 Israelis, most of them soldiers.
