Israeli general warns against any attack from Lebanon
by Naharnet Newsdesk 4 hours The commander of the Israeli army's northern front has warned against any attack from Lebanon, following the recent rocket attack from Syria that targeted the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights. 'After 19 years, we returned to war in Lebanon. We did not stop until the equation was reversed, and we will not allow the equation to be reversed again. These days, we continue to preserve our achievements and thwart and prevent any threat,' Northern Command chief Ori Gordin said at a ceremony marking the 19th anniversary of the 2006 war with Hezbollah. 'If anyone makes a mistake … and shoots at us as happened last night from Syria, we will respond to them in kind and pursue them and those who sent them relentlessly, and this will be a clear message to all our enemies,' Gordin added. An Israeli security source meanwhile told Al-Arabiya's Al-Hadath channel that "Iran, Hezbollah and those linked to (ousted Syrian President Bashar) al-Assad are trying to obstruct stability in Syria." "The current Syrian administration had nothing to do with the firing of rockets from south Syria," the source added.

Report: Araghchi told Hezbollah not to discuss arms before knowing outcome of talks with US
by Naharnet Newsdesk 4 hours Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to Lebanon was aimed at saying that 'Tehran is still present in Lebanon,' a source close to Hezbollah told Al-Arabiya's Al-Hadath channel. 'What's new in Araghchi's visit is that he said that Iran would deal with the Lebanese state and not with political parties,' the source said. 'Araghchi's message was to avoid engaging in a dialogue that would decide the fate of (Hezbollah's) weapons before knowing the outcome of the (Iranian nuclear) negotiations with the U.S.,' the source added. 'Araghchi's message to the allies was that Tehran is determined to absorb the requirements of the new era and to deal with its transformations,' the source went on to say.
