Several Israeli officials said that a war with Lebanon was imminent. The Israeli army struck a number of Hezbollah targets deep inside Lebanon and in the country's south on Sunday morning.
"The Lebanese government is making all efforts necessary to prevent Israel from escalating its aggression against Lebanon," Bayram said in an interview.
The minister accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of using Lebanon "to show the Israelis that he has not turned away from northern Israel and the Golan Heights."
The Israeli army said on Saturday that 12 people had been killed in a rocket strike on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which it blamed on Hezbollah. The Lebanese movement denied the claim.
