Israel's Netanyahu warns Hezbollah to "calm down" as Lebanon calls drone attack a "declaration of war" - CBS News
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday warned Lebanon, Hezbollah's chief and the head of Iran's elite Quds Force to "be careful" with their words and actions. With tension mounting on the Israeli border, Netanyahu said Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah "knows very well that the state of Israel knows how to defend itself well, and to repay its enemies."
"I want to say to him and the Lebanese state, which is hosting this organization that aims to destroy us, and I say the same to Qassem Soleimani: Be careful about your words, and even more cautious about your actions."
He said Nasrallah should "calm down."
Nasrallah has accused Israel of being behind a drone attack on the Lebanese Shiite movement's Beirut stronghold on Sunday and threatened retaliation. He called it the first such "hostile action" since a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Lebanon's President Michel Aoun called it a "declaration of war," and the Lebanese National Defense Council was expected to hold an emergency meeting Tuesday.
Lebanon's leader, Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, reportedly told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that the purported Israeli attack in Beirut threatened a dangerous escalation, with unpredictable results."
