Lebanese FM claims he was told Israeli reprisal, Hezbollah reaction to be ‘limited’

Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bouhabib says Beirut has received “calming” messages from relevant countries that Israel’s retaliation for yesterday’s deadly rocket attack on Majdal Shams will be “limited,” as will Hezbollah’s subsequent response, according to Hebrew media.

Bouhabib told Saudi-owned Al Hadath news earlier today that Hezbollah is ready to withdraw beyond the Litani River — which runs some 29 kilometers (18 miles) north of the Israel-Lebanon border — if Israel halts its “violations.”
