Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri has called on the international community to take measures to prevent a possible Israeli attack on his country.

Trying to raise awareness about Israeli threats against his country, Hariri warned of increasing Israeli violations of the Lebanese airspace during the past months.

“We ask the international community to be aware of daily Israeli threats,” he said on Friday.

Several Israeli officials have recently stepped up their war rhetoric against other regional countries including Lebanon.

Israeli cabinet minister Yossi Peled said that another confrontation with Lebanon's resistance movement Hezbollah was almost inevitable.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's provocative rhetoric has also suggested a potential Israeli war against Lebanon.

The Israeli threats forced a counterproductive response from Hariri, who backs Hezbollah's armed resistance as long as the threat from Israel persists.

“We assure Israel that betting on a schism in Lebanon will fail," Hariri added.

Tel Aviv launched an attack on Lebanon in 2006, but was met with fierce resistance from Hezbollah. The 33-day war which was aimed at destroying Hezbollah's resistance failed to achieve its objective and Israel was forced to pull out from the country after the United Nations Security Council voted for Resolution 1701.
