Hezbollah Leader Threatens Tel Aviv

Hezbollah Leader Threatens Tel Aviv:

BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Hezbollah's leader offered Thursday to stop rocket attacks on northern Israel in return for an end to airstrikes throughout Lebanon.

However, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah also vowed to fire rockets into Tel Aviv if Israel strikes Beirut proper. Israeli warplanes have repeatedly bombarded Hezbollah strongholds in southern suburbs of Beirut.

A group of displaced Lebanese watch a taped television speech by Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on a large screen at a shelter in Beirut, Lebanon, Thursday, Aug. 3, 2006. Hezbollah's leader threatened to send rockets into Tel Aviv if Beirut proper was attacked, but offered a cease-fire in the air war, pledging to halt rocket attacks if Israel stops airstrikes.
