JERUSALEM — Israel bombed southern Lebanon on Thursday and said it had thwarted an Iran-backed assassination plot, a day after explosions of Hezbollah radios that came on the heels of blasts in booby-trapped pagers, setting the foes hurtling towards war.The sophisticated attacks on communications equipment used by Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah have sown disarray in Lebanon , and are increasingly viewed as heralding a return to all-out war, last fought 18 years ago.
Despite the events of the past few days, a spokesperson for the UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon said the situation along the frontier had "not changed much in terms of exchanges of fire between the parties.""There was an intensification last week. This week it is more or less the same. There are still exchanges of fire. It is still worrying, still concerning, and the rhetoric is high," the spokesperson, Andrea Tenenti, told Reuters.
