JERUSALEM, July 28 (UPI) -- Israel has warned that anyone remaining in southern Lebanon will be regarded as a terrorist.

The warning came from Haim Ramon, the Israeli Justice minister, as Israel prepared massive airpower in its drive to crush the Hezbollah militants, the London Telegraph said.

Israel decided against expanding ground operations after nine soldiers died in fighting Wednesday but did authorize the call-up of up to 30,000 reservists for possible later use.

"Everyone in southern Lebanon is a terrorist and is connected to Hezbollah," Ramon told a Security Cabinet meeting. "Our great advantage ... is our firepower, not in face-to-face combat."
