(Ha'aretz) Fadi Eyadat - Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned Tuesday that Israel holds Lebanon responsible for any conflict with Hizbullah. "Hizbullah is not our target" in such a case, said Barak. "Our target will be the state of Lebanon." "Lebanon grants Hizbullah permission to operate on its soil," said Barak. "We must clarify for the international community that we do not accept that a militia like Hizbullah exists in Lebanon, a sovereign country, and even sits in its parliament."
