Lebanon says will not allow Hamas to 'destabilize national security'

Lebanon's top security body on Friday warned Hamas against using the country's territory for acts that undermine national security, after rocket fire towards Israel sparked retaliatory strikes.

The council also said legal proceedings would begin early next week against those detained over the rocket fire. Israel has continued to strike Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreed in November to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah that included a bombing campaign and ground incursion.
