"If they really reach an agreement in Gaza, this will stop immediately and automatically. It will stop in southern Lebanon or northern Israel," BouHabib said.
BouHabib characterized the skirmishes on the Lebanese-Israel border as "minor fighting."
"I don't think the intention is to have a big war. It has to do with what's going on in Gaza, which is not acceptable," BouHabib said.
The situation in southern Lebanon deteriorated after the start of Israel's indiscriminate bombardment and invasion of Gaza in which more than 26,000 Palestinians have been killed and well over 60,000 have been wounded. The IDF and Hezbollah regularly exchange fire in areas along the border.
