Israel threatens to eliminate Hezbollah leader
 JERUSALEM, - Israel threatened Friday to eliminate Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese Hezbollah leader who has long been a thorn in the side of the Jewish state, after the latest crisis over the seizure of two Israeli soldiers. Nasrallah decided his own fate, Interior Minister Roni Bar-On announced on public radio. We will settle our accounts with him when the time comes.The threat came as Israeli forces intensified attacks on Lebanon in pre-dawn raids, striking at the heart of Hezbollahs command headquarters in Beiruts suburbs, amid world concern that the escalation could spark a regional war. Hezbollah, a fundamentalist Shiite Muslim movement whose name means Party of God, has retaliated against what it has branded massacres with a wave of rocket attacks against northern towns in Israel.
