Fadlallah says Israel hasn't shown any pic to prove Glilot not hit
Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah on Friday said that Israel “thought that it targeted key weapons with a harsh and painful strike before realizing that it bombed its shadow.”
Fadlallah was referring to Israel’s claim that it waged a preemptive strike to foil Hezbollah’s retaliation to Fouad Shukur’s killing, an allegation that was dismissed by Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who said that Israel staged its airstrikes half an hour before his group launched over 300 rockets and several drones into Israel.
“The enemy’s prime minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu retracted his remarks and said that they bombed short-range rockets, because they found out that they had fallen into a trap and deception practiced against them by the resistance,” Fadlallah said.
“They believed that they had information and the resistance, one way or another, carried out measures that foiled what they called a preemptive strike,” the MP added.
“When the enemy wants to refute something, it brings journalists and publishes pictures, except for this strike (on the Glilot intelligence base near Tel Aviv), when it took measures and prevented any camera from entering a certain diameter. To date, it has not published any picture, even taken from afar, for the facilities to prove that they have not been targeted,” Fadlallah went on to say.
He added: “According to the resistance’s verified information, a number of its drones accurately reached the selected targets … and the enemy kept that under wraps because it does not want to acknowledge the resistance’s achievement and because it is incapable of targeting Lebanon with a broad war.”
“It remained mum to suggest that nothing has happened and to avoid being asked for responses by its society,” Fadlallah said.
