The March 14 alliance called on Prime Minister Najib Miqati to immediately resign over Hizbullah's drone that penetrated Israeli airspace over the weekend, considering it a “defiance of the Lebanese people's will,” al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Monday.

Leadership sources from the opposition held Miqati responsible for any new war between Lebanon and Israel, noting that Hizbullah insists on “usurping” the state's decision-making power and keeping Lebanon under the control of Iran.

Hizbullah's, Iranian-made, drone that penetrated Israel surveilled live images of “secret” Israeli military bases, according to Britain's Sunday Times newspaper.

The newspaper reported that the drone transmitted pictures of preparations for Israel's “biggest” joint military exercise with the U.S. army, which began last week.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said Israel was facing an increasing number of cyberattacks, just days after Washington issued a veiled warning to Iran over digital attacks on its interests.

"There have been increasing efforts to carry out cyberattacks on Israel's computer infrastructure," Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting, without giving details.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office denied a Friday report that he had offered to quit the occupied Golan Heights in exchange for peace with Syria in U.S.-mediated negotiations last year.

According to Yediot Aharonot daily which broke the story, talks fizzled out without any agreement as domestic protests that erupted in mid-March 2011 against Syrian President Bashar Assad's rule spiraled into civil war.

Hizbullah was behind the drone that Israel shot down last weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu charged on Thursday during a tour of the security fence separating southern Israel from Egypt.

During the tour, Netanyahu stated that Israel would "act with determination to defend its sea, air and land borders" just as it had "thwarted Hizbullah's attempt over the weekend" to send an unmanned aircraft into Israeli airspace.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the right-wing-religious bloc is set for an easy victory in a snap election due early next year, according to two opinion polls published on Thursday.

Netanyahu and the right-wing and ultra-Orthodox parties allied with him stand to increase their parliamentary majority to 68 in the 120-seat Knesset, Israel's parliament, according to a poll published in Haaretz newspaper.

Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday kicked off his re-election bid after calling snap polls that he is tipped to win, presenting himself as the only hope of facing Iran and the world economic crisis.

Following his announcement late on Tuesday that the election was to be brought forward, Netanyahu fired the unofficial starting gun to a campaign expected to see Israelis go to the polls in January or February.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday called an early general election, saying it should be held "as quickly as possible" in a bid to avoid damaging the Jewish state's flagging economy.

"My duty as prime minister is to put the national interest before everything, and so I've decided that for the good of Israel we must go to an election now as fast as possible," he told a press conference, broadcast live on Israel's main television and radio stations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have "agreed" on fighting the Iranian threat in all its forms and on managing ties with the United States, a joint statement said.

The defense minister had reportedly expressed views that conflicted with the prime minister's over the Iran nuclear issue during a recent visit to the United States, which favors sanctions and diplomacy over military action.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to call elections in mid-February 2013, more than six months early, Israeli media and ministers said on Wednesday.

In recent weeks, speculation has been rife that Netanyahu, who continues to ride high in the polls, might bring forward elections scheduled for next October, rather than try to pass a controversial new budget before the vote.
