Lebanon warns Palestinians over inciting Israel

Lebanon’s defence minister has said he is certain Hezbollah would not break the cease-fire but warned rogue Palestinian groups of harsh measures and a traitor’s fate if they incited Israeli retaliation by launching rockets into the Jewish state.

Also, Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, a Sunni Muslim, toured the devastated Hezbollah stronghold in Shiite south Beirut yesterday and decried the destruction wrought by Israeli bombs as “crimes against humanity".
