Israel building new wall near Lebanese border

• http://www.presstv.ir

Israel's Channel 2 News has aired footage of Israeli troops constructing a wall in Kibbutz Misgav Am near the Lebanese border by placing sections of concrete next to each other.

Israeli regime officials claim the wall is meant to prevent the potential entry of Hezbollah fighters to conduct attacks.

Israel waged two wars on Lebanon in 2000 and 2006. About 1,200 Lebanese, most of them civilians, lost their lives during the 33-day war in the summer of 2006.

A senior Israeli military official warned that another war would be "devastating" to Lebanon as Tel Aviv would unleash all of its military capabilities on the Arab country.

Major General Yair Golan, Israel's deputy chief of staff, said on Wednesday Hezbollah had developed capabilities that present "unprecedented" threats to Israel.
