Hezbollah said to threaten attack over Israeli border barrier

The Hezbollah terror group has conveyed to Israel, via the UN forces in southern Lebanon, a threat to attack, if Israel does not cease construction of a barrier along the border, Hadashot TV news reports.

The report says Jerusalem is “unimpressed” with the threat and is determined to complete construction on the barrier, which is situated in Israeli territory and is geared toward preventing cross-border attacks.

The report cites sources in Israel as saying Hezbollah will “pay dearly” if it attempts to sabotage the works or otherwise spark a conflagration in the area.
