Netanyahu Threatens to Reduce Beirut to Rubble If Hezbollah Increases Attacks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

An anti-tank missile fired by Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon killed an
Israeli civilian on Thursday. The cross-border attack prompted
retaliatory fire from Israeli tanks and helicopter gunships. Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to reduce Lebanon's capital
Beirut to rubble if Hezbollah increases its attacks.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "If Hezbollah chooses to start an
all-out war, then it will, by its own hands, turn Beirut and southern
Lebanon, not far from here, into Gaza and Khan Younis."
