Hizbullah: We Will Choose Appropriate Time to Retaliate to Israel's Strike
Hizbullah confirmed on Wednesday that Israeli fighter jets had shelled one of its positions on the Lebanese-Syrian border on Monday.
It said in a statement: “The resistance will choose the right time and place to retaliate to the strike near the Bekaa region of Janta.”
It added that no one was killed or injured in the attack, saying that only material damage was incurred.
It refuted media reports that rocket positions were targeted or that resistance fighters were killed in the attack.
“The attack is a new blatant assault against Lebanon, its sovereignty, and land, and not just the resistance,” continued Hizbullah
“The attack demonstrates the hostile nature of the Zionists and demands a clear and honest stance from all sides,” it stressed.
“The assault will not pass without a retaliation by the resistance,” vowed the party.
On Monday night, "two Israeli raids hit a Hizbullah target on the border of Lebanon and Syria," a Lebanese security source told Agence France Presse.
The National News Agency confirmed the report, adding that the raids targeted the countryside of the Lebanese town of Nabi Sheet on the border.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Israel was doing all that was "necessary" to ensure its security.
"We will not say what we're doing or what we're not doing" to maintain Israel's security, he added.
