BEIRUT, Lebanon, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Lebanon plans to lodge a complaint with the United Nations about Israeli threats to pursue Hezbollah across the border if Lebanon becomes a "Hezbollah state."
The cabinet approved the action Friday, Haaretz reported. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said recently that Israel would not consider itself bound by any restrictions if Hezbollah came to power in Lebanon.
In 2006, Israel invaded southern Lebanon and launched air strikes against Beirut following the Hezbollah kidnapping of two soldiers and rocket launches into northern Israel.
"To hear what Israeli officials say, one would think Israel was showering Lebanon with roses during its last aggression," Prime Minister Fuad Siniora said Friday.
Hezbollah has reportedly planned actions against Israel in retaliation for the assassination in February of Imad Mughniyad, one of its leaders. He was killed in a car bombing in Damascus.
