Hezbollah Leader Threatens Attack on Ben Gurion Airport

by Eric on February 17, 2010

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said that in a future war with Israel, Hezbollah would attack Ben Gurion airport if Israel strikes the main airport in Beirut.

Reuters quotes Nasrallah as saying:

“If you hit Rafik al-Hariri international airport in Beirut, we will hit Ben-Gurion airport in Tel Aviv,” Nasrallah said via a live video-link to thousands of cheering Shi’ite followers.

“If you hit our ports, we will bomb your ports, and if you hit our oil refineries, we will bomb your oil refineries.”

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel has no plans for any wars.  It seems, though, that Hezbollah is trying to renew violence in the region.
