Israel on Friday demanded the dismissal or trial of the Lebanese army officer who opened fire at Israeli soldiers in Tuesday's deadly tree-pruning operation that left dead and wounded on sides of the Lebanon-Israel border.
Among the dead were a senior Israeli officer and two Lebanese soldiers and a Lebanese journalist.
Israeli sources said Israel has threatened to "choose the appropriate method" in the event its demand was not met.
Israel's response to any new attack at the northern border "is going to be harsh and unprecedented," the source warned.
Lebanese troops overnight went on alert again near the border village of Kfar Kila after a number of Israeli soldiers deployed in the opposite side.Local media on Friday said no shooting incidents were reported at Fatima border crossing during the brief tension.They said cautious calm returned to the area about half an hour later following UNIFIL's intervention.
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will reportedly unveil on Monday that Alfa employee Charbel Qazzi had given Israel a password that allowed it to manipulate mobile phone lines used in the assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri.
El-Shark newspaper said Friday that during his news conference on Monday, Nasrallah would stress that the investigation into Hariri's Feb. 2005 murder took a wrong turn after Israelis manipulated the lines used for communication purposes among members of the assassination network.Qazzi is being interrogated by the authorities on charges of spying for Israel.
According to the daily, Nasrallah would also remind the Lebanese that agent Ahmed Nasrallah, who currently resides in Israel, informed Hariri in 1992 that Hizbullah was planning to kill him.
The leader of the plot at the time would have been slain Hizbullah Commander Imad Mughniyeh, el-Shark said.
According to the daily, Nasrallah would show a tape that unveils secrets about Hizbullah operations.
Sources did not unveil details about the tape or its link to Hariri's killing.
