Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said at the start of a Yisrael Beytenu faction meeting: "We do not want a third Lebanon war, but on the other hand we are determined to prevent Lebanon from becoming one large factory for the manufacture of missiles."

"We are determined to eliminate all terrorist tunnels from the Gaza Strip to Israel, and the Iranian issue is at the center of the meeting between Netanyahu and Putin," Liberman added.
