Hezbollah denies trying to fire rockets from Rmeish
Hezbollah’s media relations department on Wednesday denied as “false and tendentious” the reports that said that Hezbollah fighters had tried to fire rockets at Israel from the southern border town of Rmeish.
In a statement, the dept. categorically denied that Hezbollah fighters had tried to fire rockets at Israel “from inside the town of Rmeish or from the vicinity of its school or from the vicinity of the town in general.”
“These are false, fabricated and totally baseless reports,” the department added.
“The sides that insisted on launching these false rumors … are slanderous sides that are inciting strife among the Lebanese and are knowingly or unknowingly working in the service of the enemy and its objectives,” Hezbollah said.
The pro-Hezbollah al-Akhbar newspaper meanwhile accused the Kataeb Party and the Lebanese Forces of “insisting on strife,” noting that “the published footage only showed two civilian cars in olive groves in the town’s distant forests that overlap with the outskirts of other towns.”
The two cars “were not in the town’s residential neighborhoods,” the newspaper added.
