Lebanese official accuses Israel of 'luring' Lebanon into war
Lebanese Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri accused Israel of trying to "lure" Lebanon into war in comments to Asharq Al-Awsat on Monday.
"We will not be dragged to an open war and we will continue to exercise self-restraint and to absorb the Israeli aggression that reached its peak in the past two days by turning most villages and towns situated south of the Litani river into dilapidated and uninhabitable areas," said Berri.
Berri heads the Amal movement, a party allied with Hezbollah. On October 8, Hezbollah began launching attacks against northern Israel, leading to evacuations of Israeli communities near the border. The IDF and Hezbollah have been exchanging blows on a nearly daily basis since the initial Hezbollah attacks.
