JERUSALEM : Deputy Defense Minister Zeev Boim said Israel would not allow Lebanon to serve as a springboard for attacks after carrying out an air strike close to its northern neighbour's capital.
Israeli warplanes bombed positions of a radical Palestinian group some 20 kilometres (12 miles) south of the Lebanese capital late Monday, although there were no immediate reports of casualties.

The raid was in response to an earlier mortar attack that Israel said targeted one of its naval vessels patrolling in Israeli territorial waters.
