Hizbullah Strongly Denies Involvement in Syria Clashes

Hizbullah on Friday strongly denied media reports accusing the Shiite party of being involved in the ongoing clashes in Syria, describing them as “rumors aimed at inciting sectarian tensions.”

“Lately, some Arab and Israeli media outlets and a number of websites have been circulating rumors accusing Hizbullah of being involved in the military confrontations taking place in some Syrian regions,” said Hizbullah in a statement.

Those media outlets, according to the statement, have also reported that Hizbullah members were killed in clashes between Syrian security forces and protesters.

The party accused certain media outlets of “fabricating names of alleged (Hizbullah) martyrs.”

It said the aforementioned media reports were “part of the same conspiracy targeting Syria and the resistance movements” in the region.
