Lebanon has warned of a new war
Lebanon has warned of war after [Israel](https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/world/israel) pounded it with heavy artillery and airstrikes in response to cross-border rocket fire from its land.
The recent escalation is a major spike in hostilities in the Middle East, ending a period of almost three months of relative calm.
Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, said the Lebanese government "bore responsibility" for any rockets fired from its territory.
