Lebanon's government says it will complain to the United Nations about Israeli threats to destroy Lebanese villages if they are used to fire missiles on Israel.
Information Minister Tarek Mitri says the recent Israeli threats should be taken seriously. He says Prime Minister Fuad Saniora will write to the United Nations on the subject.
A senior Israeli army commander said last week that Israel will use "disproportionate force" and destroy villages from where missiles are launched.
In 2006, Hezbollah lobbed missiles into Israel, which then launched airstrikes on Lebanon. More than 1,000 Lebanese and 159 Israelis were killed in the fighting.
