Bou Habib says govt asking Hezbollah to be careful in its response against Israel
Caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib on Tuesday said the Lebanese government is trying to prevent Hezbollah from launching a harsh response against Israel that might trigger a wide war.
“We are working so that any response does not lead to an all-out war,” Bou Habib said during a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty for his part condemned the brazen Israeli attack that killed Hezbollah military chief Fouad Shukur and six other people in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
Hezbollah has vowed a “real” and “well-thought-out” response to the killing.
