NEWS REPORT:

Israel has sent a stark warning to Hezbollah that it could ‘take Lebanon back to the Stone Age’ if border clashes erupt into a wider regional war.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant made the comments during a visit to Washington on Wednesday, stressing that Israel would sooner avoid escalation.

‘We do not want war, but we are preparing for every scenario,’ he told reporters. ‘Hezbollah understands very well that we can inflict massive damage in Lebanon if a war is launched.’ Israeli forces have exchanged fire with the militants based in Lebanon ever since the October 7 attack on Israel by Hezbollah’s ally Hamas.

Fears of the border skirmishes boiling over into a full-blown was have grown in recent weeks since Israel revealed it had approved plans for a Lebanon offensive, prompting new threats from Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

Warning against the escalation of hostilities, the UN’s humanitarian coordinator Martin Griffiths said on Wednesday that Lebanon was ‘the flashpoint beyond all flashpoints’.

‘It’s beyond planning. It’s potentially apocalyptic,’ warned Griffiths, whose term ends this week. Speaking in Geneva, Griffiths warned that a war involving Lebanon ‘will draw in Syria… it will draw in others’, he added. ‘It’s very alarming.’

Israel’s allies, including key defence backer the United States, have been keen to avoid such an eventuality.

A US official said Washington was engaged in ‘fairly intensive conversations’ with Israel, Lebanon and other actors, and believed that no side sought a ‘major escalation’.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told Gallant on Tuesday that another war with Hezbollah could have ‘terrible consequences for the Middle East’, and urged a diplomatic solution.

Germany on Wednesday, echoing a Canadian warning from the day before, ‘urgently requested’ its citizens in Lebanon leave the country.

‘The current heightened tensions in the border area with Israel could escalate further at any time,’ updated foreign ministry advice in Berlin said.

Lebanon’s national news agency reported about 10 Israeli strikes on areas near the border on Wednesday, including one around 10:00 pm that destroyed a building in Nabatiyeh, wounding five people.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the strike.
