MOSCOW, October 31 (RIA Novosti) -- Lebanon's ambassador to the United Nations has warned there are signs of an imminent Israeli attack on his country, a Lebanese newspaper has reported.

According to Al-Hayyat, Noaf Salaam sent a note to the UN secretary general condemning Israel's recent artillery fire on the village of Houla.

He described it as a clear violation of Lebanon's sovereignty, as well as of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

He also said that the "pattern of Israeli breaches" constituted a serious threat to Lebanon, and that the increased "escalation in a fragile and explosive situation" signaled Israeli plans of an imminent attack.
