Hizbullah Condemns Israeli Raid, Says 'Totally Prepared to Defend Lebanon'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Hizbullah on Friday condemned the Israeli air raid that targeted the Naameh area south of Beirut at dawn, describing it as a “dangerous and flagrant violation of Lebanon's sovereignty.”

It said the attack “confirms the enemy's criminal intentions towards Lebanon and its people, which requires permanent vigilance and full preparedness to confront its hostile adventures.”

“As Hizbullah condemns this new aggression, it asks those who claim to be advocates of sovereignty about it, wondering about the secret behind the silence of the March 14 forces regarding Israeli attacks,” it added, denouncing “the international and Arab inaction towards Israel's insolence.”

“Hizbullah -- whose eyes and heart are always alert regarding the enemy's treachery and aggressions – confirms that the resistance is fully prepared to defend Lebanon and its security and stability,” the party announced.

Israeli warplanes struck tunnels used by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command in a valley in Naameh earlier on Friday, hours after four rockets were fired at northern Israel from south Lebanon.

The PFLP-GC said it had nothing to do with Thursday's rocket fire while the attack was claimed by the Abdullah Azzam Brigades -- an al-Qaida-linked group which claimed similar rocket attacks on Israel in 2009 and 2011.

Shut up and sit down. So the four rockets launched at northern Israel the other day were fire works to celebrate the Sunni attack on Dahiyeh? How dare you?

we dont need you to defend us. Just allow us to disarm palestinian thugs.

Hezbollah is the one killing Lebanon and Lebanese not to mention innocent Syrians simply because they aren't Alawites or Chia.

Keep your bullets to shoot yourselves if you want to help us!

According to HA..............the enemy's criminal intentions towards Lebanon and its people.................
According to me: The enemy in this case is those responsible for firing the rockets against Israel without permission from the State of Lebanon. Israel's aggression is in response to the aggression perpetrated by firing the rockets. We need to disarm the Palestinians, then HA, then everyone else and let the State decide matters of war and peace. Israel has committed many aggressions against Lebanon and almost daily violations of its sovereignty, but this particular incident is not one of them in my opinion.

Memo to Hezb: If Israel attacks, you're on your own because you don't represent Lebanon. We want peace with Israel and all our neighbors. Enough of your filthy propaganda.
