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