Hezbollah warns Israel

Hezbollah's leader was quoted by two Lebanese newspapers yesterday as warning that his Iranian-backed militants will strike Israel's largest city of Tel Aviv with missiles from Lebanon - if the Jewish state attacked the guerrillas' south Beirut stronghold in a new war. The papers, both with close ties to Hezbollah, said Sheik Hassan Nasrallah made the threat during a weekend with Lebanese expatriates.
