Lebanese minister: ‘If Israel bombards our airport, we will bombard its airport’

Lebanon’s defense minister threatens to strike Israel’s airport and oil facilities if the Jewish state attacks it, Lebanese media reports.

“If Israel bombards our airport, we will bombard its airport. If it strikes our oil facilities, we will strike its oil facilities,” Elias Bou Saab says, during a tour of southern Lebanon, according to Hezbollah-affiliated website Al-Manar.

Bou Saab also reportedly says Beirut is concerned with protecting its national resources and stressed the importance of its armed forces.
