Beirut  - Lebanon's Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh said on Thursday that Israel's threats aim at hurting Lebanon's image.

"Who said that the cabinet has given the okay to Hezbollah to carry out any action against Israel?" Salloukh asked.

He said the situation south of the Litani River is stable where the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) is exerting "major efforts and there have been no complaints against Hezbollah."

Lebanon adheres to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, Salloukh noted.
