The United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Derek Plumbly “strongly” deplored on Thursday the car bombing in the Beirut suburb of Haret Hreik, expressing his anger over the recurrent explosions in Lebanon.

The United States and the United Kingdom's embassies in Lebanon condemned on Thursday the “terrorist” bombing in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Hizbullah on Thursday noted that the March 14 coalition has become in the same political camp with the “terrorists” who are waging an “aggression against Lebanon.”

“The twin attacks on the army (in Sidon) is a dangerous terrorist development whose execution was based on the March 14 camp's endorsement of terrorists,” the party's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc said after its weekly meeting, in a statement recited by MP Hasan Fadlallah.

Israel is planning to launch a short and decisive war against Hizbullah, reported the World Tribune U.S. news service according to intelligence information.

It said that the war would be aimed destroying the party's strategic capabilities.
